Calling err etc will zap this, assuming >that stdio hasn't been pulled in by something else already... Erm, it calls fprintf() in the first (compound) statement in main(). The 1.1.5 init.c really attempts to avoid stdio. It succeeded in 1.1.5, but fails when linked to -current libraries. The executable is a measly 112K bytes of text. It is bloated mainly by calling logwtmp(), which drags in gethostbyname(), which costs 88K bytes of text. The bloat in logwtmp.c dates from 1996/06/17. It is just to convert long hostnames to numeric addresses so that they don't get truncated when stored into wtmp. Bruce
