I think this is pretty cool, and is better suited for a wider audience than similar CVS-based solutions proposed earlier (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?id=427743ED.6020200%40FreeBSD.org&db=mid and http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=0+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-audit/20050116.freebsd-audit). The patch looks fine and appears to work as advertized. :-) I hope dougb will pay attention. \Anton. -- An undefined problem has an infinite number of solutions. -- Robert A. Humphrey
