hi, some more sync up patches coming soon for fixing fd_set overflow problems. after discussing with kkenn, it is felt that kqueue/kevent will be used instead of select(2). much of openbsd has been moving to poll(2) (not poll(3), afaik) as well as a couple other ways. kkenn felt (if i am incorrect let me know :-)) that if the move was just from select to poll, then it would just be better to use kqueue and kevent. i offered up the idea of doing a #ifdef conditional for using either kqueue or poll... but im not sure this is beneficial. anyway, im posting this here for comments prior to doing the patches :-) thanks, andrew *-------------................................................. | Andrew R.
