Dang, I was reading the different str*cpy() functions and suggested strscpy() and then forgot about it and blindly applied strlcpy() blindly after the build warning report. It'd be great to weed out the useless ones. These are places where truncation is fine. Would the right thing to do be adding (void) in front, which is kinda ugly? Thanks. -- tejun
