Not only will syslogd "go beserk", the threads code won't work correctly, without it. This has been noted at http://lt.tar.com for several months now. There are also fixes that need to be made to the posix scheduling code. At one point it looked like the fixes would be committed, and the posix scheduling stuff made standard, before 3.1 was released. It didn't happen, though I understand it may happen in the next week or two. Peter Dufault has been working on it. -- Richard Seaman, Jr. email: dick@tar.com 5182 N.
