In the FreeBSD world (and probably in the other BSDs) it is common to require people to include the prerequisit headers, rather than having them pulled in automatically. Having to include <sys/types.h> is the most common symptom of this. The prerequisits are documented in the man pages, so if you look at "man 5 utmp", it documents <sys/types.h> as a prerequisit for <utmp.h>. The prerequisits are usually in accordance with POSIX, or some other standard. There is work in progress in FreeBSD 5 to make sure the headers are up to scratch in this respect. David.
