You have to put it in loader.conf because that value is set _very_ early in the boot process (before sysctl.conf is used) and can not be changed later. You can also put this value in your kernel config and recompile your kernel. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
