Well, having the port at the ports tree, you may test it yourself. ;-) > set the osrelease to 2.6.15 instead... Unfortunately I somehow messed up my i386-current, xorg and NVIDIA and can't test it right now. But as I recall from my tests (before the mess) even when I set 2.6.15, ktrace shows that openat calls were present... > I hope to get openat() commited soon to src.. anyone willing to commit it? :) +1 WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone & Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve
