I requested (and obtained) clarification when the original declamation was received from on high; mounting it on /compat/linux/procfs is deemed to be adequate to achieve this purpose. (No, I don't immediately plan to update /usr/sbin/linux to do this automatically - either it'll become part of the linux compatibility code proper, or we'll do it the brute-force way, but that's still somewhat open to discussion - our usual decision-making process.) -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
