If you can see the thing in sysctl -A, you can set it in sysctl.conf; this is read, I believe, *way* before S99local... I am going to guess that it would be: scsi.sym53c8xx.1="setsync all 10" or something like that. What I would do is check to see if there are any sym53c8xx keys in sysctl -A's output, do your echo command (above), and then check the sysctl output again. If the command is trapped in a key someplace, then you can easily cut and paste it into sysctl.conf, reboot, and then verify that everything is properly set by checking sysctl.conf. Cheers! Steve
