I'm just back from a few weeks out of the country, so my memory may be stale, but I thought if we were going to break utmp compatibility, we were going to put in ALL of the requested changes right now, instead of doing it bit by bit. I believe P-H wanted a larger field for the host size (16 is silly) and an additional field for the IPv[46] address. If so, let's get them done now before we have to re-compile and link every application twice. (I'm really unhappy about X11 code changing. Perhaps it's time to augment the utmp/wtmp write stuff in libutil into a full blown read/write package?) Paul
