To have more control on loading the kext (after login) , i'm planning to place it at custom location ( /opt/myproductfolder) instead of /System/Library/Extensions. Can any one point out the pros & cons for the location change ? This is more a related question than an answer to your question, but... does putting the kext somewhere other than /System/Library/Extensions affect how it gets cached (in the kernel extensions cache)? I have mine in /System/Library/Extensions and I do have to remember to sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions after I replace the binary. (It's loaded by a daemon of mine that is started by Launchd. Oh, and I wasn't bothering to bump up the version# for each build.) Thanks in advance for any info, rick _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
