There are some gethostby_r, getnetby_r, ... etc routines in the linuxthreads port (/usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads/files). These came from the original linuxthreads package, and have no copyright on them. I never researched the copyright status of them, but I don't think they are GPL, though you might want to do further research on their history if you use them. -- Richard Seaman, Jr. email: dick@seaman.org 5182 N.
