I was confused by the file not specifying it is appending but that is handled by the write operation itself. For my personal machine I'd say it is correct, but I still have to get a bit more aquainted with the internal vnode operations used in kern_acct.c to be 100% sure. > If it's safe, please don't forget -stable, folks. :) If they forget it just ask for it. I think Jordan was it who said to ask for those patches needed to be transfered to -stable if someone forgets.
