Ok, first off, I appreciate your having taken time to respond. Especially given the bug I had in my suggested patch. That said... two things I am missing here: (1) How do I get access to that normal tooling from the shell command line without xargs? (2) Given that POSIX is an incomplete

A stupid question, re: xargs(1)

Can someone explain to me why xargs(1) does not support using newline as a separators, when that is one of the most common unix separators? I'm pasting one potential approach to the end of this message. There's a few issues that might be stalling points: (*) which command line option to be used

Re: Query regarding exec in mandocdb.c

"Replicated similar functionality" is indeed a security issue. It's a security problem, sometimes - the whole buffer overflow being replicated everywhere thing, for example. But replication also gives robustness in the face of failure, so it can also be a security asset. Still an issue, just not

Re: OpenBSD NFS: Windows 10 writes wrong uid

p.s. if you do not want windows files in that shared directory to be executable, I think you can mount the nfs backing store partition noexec. I haven't tested this, though - I mostly try to avoid networked file systems. Thanks, -- Raul On Mon, Jun 12, 2017 at 1:22 PM, Raul Miller <rauld
