i ran into an interesting problem last night. I was attempting to load mac_seeotheruids into the running kernel, forgetting that i had not set "options MAC" in the kernel and received a kind of misleading error. instead of saying that i did not have the required components compiled into the kernel, i was told that the file didn't exist, instead of being told that i lacked mac support in my kernel. However i did receive the error in my syslog. I don't see this as an error, or even problematic, however i do believe that the error that kldload echo's should be more intuitive as to the actual problem. nebula# kldload /boot/kernel/mac_seeotheruids.ko kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/mac_seeotheruids.ko: No such file or directory nebula# ls -al /boot/kernel/mac_seeotheruids.ko -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7465 Jan 19 16:51 /boot/kernel/mac_seeotheruids.ko nebula# dmesg | grep -i mac_seeotheruids | uniq KLD mac_seeotheruids.ko: depends on kernel_mac_support - not available -- Nicholas Hockey <nhockey@gmail.com> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
