Thanks for the info. : You need to recompile a kernel with the SYSV* options enabled. Look : at /sys/i386/conf/LINT for examples. It definitely _is_ implemented : in this and all subsequent versions of FreeBSD! Unfortunately there are no man pages available for these functions in the 1.1.5.1 release of FreeBSD, which further confuses those of us looking for them :-( (at least *I* couldn't find them). However, as Jordan says, they do work. -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@bradford.ac.uk WWW page <a href="http://www.brad.ac.uk/people/tdgsandf/index.html">here</a>
