Any interest to integrate this in >FreeBSD. There definitely is interest. The Nathan Hawkins also sent a message to freebsd-standards back in April, although at that time he said the reentrant versions weren't quite finished yet.

I saved the messages back in april, and some other message on utmpx, and then completely forgot about it... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
