Description Thomas Quinot 2001-12-24 14:50:00 UTC 
	The enclosed patch adds a new functionality to sbin/sysctl:
	it allows setting of variables of type dev_t by indicating
	the name of a special file on the command line, eg:
	  sysctl kern.dumpdev=/dev/ad1s1b
	(same effect as dumpon /dev/ad1s1b).

	This would come in handy for controlling any other sysctl variable
	that is supposed to designate a device.
