Red Hat Linux Unleased by Sams Pub. on Loadable Module Support:
"To clear out unused modules, you will need to call rmmod -a yourself
or schedule it periodically through the root crontab entry:
0 -59/5 * * * * /sbin/rmmod -a"
O'reilly's "Running Linux" says list the loaded drivers with the command
"lsmod"; though when we do /sbin/lsmod we get only:
Module        Pages        Used by
They also say a module can be unloaded from memory using the rmmod command,
like "rmmod ftape".
Do you think we can do ? :
rmmod net-pf-4 ipx
rmmod net-pf-5 appletalk
Without hosing the machine?

We just added the "-m 0" after the daemon and restarted syslog; still
get the messages.

Yup, we have the same :
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         1123 Nov 11 08:17 conf.modules

We used the vi editor with no word wrap features on.

Yes, but then we are back to square one with the bloody IPX/appleshare
messages.
