Paper: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/strlcpy-paper.ps Slides (worth looking at too): http://www.openbsd.org/papers/strlcpy-slides.ps The USENIX site (mentioned in an earlier message) denies access to the full text of the paper unless you're a member. But the URLs I've listed above are available to anyone with a PostScript viewer. Again, I think the paper makes some great points, and can't understand why Mike was so negative about the paper or the adoption of these functions. They appear to be both faster AND safer than what's commonly used now. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
