If everyone else (openbsd, solaris, etc) likes the above idea then I'm certainly all for it. If they don't, then I see no benefit in making slightly different routines for freebsd. If I'm writing code, I'm writing it for more than one platform. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
