3) Close all FDs except the ones you explicitly want to keep. This is normally something like: for (i = getdtablesize(); --i 2; ) close(i); The advantage is that you are sure you don't miss any. The disadvantage is that it requires a system call for each

And pidentd will still be supported. Eventually, I'd like to have those huge majority who do not use DES tokens with pidentd move to the inetd identd (when committed)... How about a standalone identd with DES `tokens' and any other nice to haves that it doesn't make sense to implement in a

Maybe if I call the sysctl "vm.crashmenow". No, that will just make more people actually try it. It might be doable as a compile-time option, since you wouldn't be able to run anything approaching standard on such a system anyway. I don't see much use for it myself. As I

I'm not sure if XPG4v2 requires command substitution to behave like that. At least, both Solaris' and DEC UNIX... oops... True64 UNIX do execute all command substitutions in a subshell (`pwd` does not affect the surrounding shell), and both claim XPG4 compliance. They only execute a

could buffer siginfo's in user space, although this introduces complexity if you want the ability to cancel queued signals... yes, that is the hard part :) Well, how about the kernel passes siginfo and siginfo_cancel events up to userland, siginfo will remove any siginfo's from its buffer

Also, you really want to return more than one event at at time in order to amortize the cost of the system call over several events, this doesn't seem possible with callbacks (or upcalls). yes, that would be a nice behaviour, but I haven't seen it become a real issue yet. the
