https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=226609 Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |brooks@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Brooks Davis <brooks@FreeBSD.org> --- The layout of struct utmpx is part of the libc ABI and the format of files stored on disk so this can't just be changed. The effort required to make this change properly would be substantial. At a minimum, libc compatibility shims would be required with new symbol versions and a mechanism to handle there change in the format of /var/run/utx.active, /var/log/utx.lastlogin, and /var/log/utx.log. See getutxent(3) for one set of effected interfaces. A number of syscalls use MAXLOGNAME and might need to be altered as well. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
