Two questions for the group: 1) Is there a BSD equivalent of makecontext, getcontext, swapcontext, and the like that Solaris has? These are system calls that deal with contexts of user processes. 2) Why are passwords limited to 8 characters? Whether it be xdm, login, or su, only the first 8 characters are processed, and the rest of the text can be anything I want, or nothing at all. I was under the impression that the maximum length of passwords was 25 characters. -- Ray Kohler <rjk191@psu.edu> KING?-> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
