at least for sb_max I once sent a patch to tech@ [1] to change it via sysctl, but that was unfortunately rejected ;) So, I'd still find it easier to change the sysctl than a changing it with config(8). But on the other hand, sysctl might be too easy to use for $average user, and making it only accessible via config(8) may prevent whining users. cheers, Sebastian [1 ] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.openbsd.tech/kMRT8VO2VaA > > Miod >
