Hi to all. gcc supports strftime format string checking and issues a warning when it encounters some unknown format specifier. FreeBSD strftime has several additional format chars which gcc knows nothing about. This can easily be seen when compiling /usr/src/usr.sbin/pw: pw_user.c:1175: warning:

I'd just like to confirm that my interpretation of how kevent() can be made to handle signals is correct. From kqueue(2): ... EVFILT_SIGNAL Takes the signal number to monitor as the identifier and returns when the given signal is delivered to the process. This coexists

the "defrag all" feature of Linux solves the discussed problem, but can be improved. We do not need to defrag the packets. We just need to queue them. and, when the first frag has been received, we only need to save the informations necessary for filtering (ip header stuff + ports for TCP/UDP and
