I've asked this question some two years ago, but no one could answer it back then, so I'll try again. What is the reason behind having IPSEC_SUPPORT option instead of no special option at all? If I grep for SUPPORT in conf/GENERIC, I see things like INVARIANT_SUPPORT or IEEE80211_SUPPORT_MESH (with meaningful explanations) but IPSEC_SUPPORT which, per the comment, "allows to kldload of ipsec and tcpmd5", is totally beyond me. Lots of kernel features are/can be loaded as modules, but we don't have things like SOUND_SUPPORT or USB_SUPPORT. ./danfe _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
