I seem to be noticing increasing warnings like these when compiling: librwclient.a(support.o): In function `get_edit': support.o(.text+0xeae): warning: this program uses gets(), which is unsafe. librwclient.a(support.o): In function `wkfile_write': support.o(.text+0x12a9): warning: mktemp() possibly used unsafely; consider using mkstemp() These particular ones were for rwhois from the ports collection. I've seen the latter many times before, even during buildworlds. Is there any reason for concern and are any particular precautions in order? -ac -- ============================================================== Alex Charalabidis (AC8139) 5050 Poplar Ave, Ste 170 Systems Administrator Memphis, TN 38157 WebNet Memphis (901) 432 6000 ============================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
