I agree with you on this, I just wanted to get the ball rolling on these changes. I've seen that in past silence often means acceptance, however I wanted to make sure, hence the email. I espcially don't want to re-merge my code, I'm sure you know how fustrating that gets after the 3rd or 4th time. :) Just fyi, the changes are just a cleanup imo with the addition of 3 new syscalls where suser(p) == 0 must be true. -Alfred > > Ciao, > Sheldon. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-fs" in the body of the message
