Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello. One question today... :-) Could it be critical (e.g. if I would like to run binaries from my machine on another one, or vice versa) if I would expand the socket-structure (in sys/socketvar.h) on my machine with an additional field? Maybe I couldn't run any BSDi or Linux-binaries anymore? (I would do a "make world" afterwards, of course) Thanks in advance for any comment. Ciao, Joachim.
