Is there an equivalent for NetBSD? : Now. But one can use AMD's "progmount" feature for this. The downside of vold is that it insists on flogging itself to death trying to mount anything that you stick in the floppy drive, whether it has a legitimate filesystem, no format, or ii is a tar archive. One must kill vold to deal with media that does not contain a UFS filesystem recognized by Solaris. -- Rick Kelly rmk@tencats.rmkhome.com rmk@rmkhome.com http://tencats.rmkhome.com
