I was under the impression the kernel would not. IIRC, previous discussions involving HPUX compatibility suggested the fix go into glibc. > To fix pppd, you have to rebuild it with a new glibc that changes > EWOULDBLOCK to EAGAIN in the headers, and if neccessary change syscalls > returning the old EWOULDBLOCK to the new EAGAIN. I thought patches had been submitted so pppd would accept both. I see that it (a) has not and (b) SunOS has EWOULDBLOCK handling in it's output() handler (see sys-sunos4.c). grant
