It does - doing so removes the need for padding before 'next_rule', because it is properly aligned then. 'timestamp' and 'cmd' are both 4 bytes in size and immediately follow each other, so the total structure size is a multiple of 8 (48 bytes). Because of that, no padding after 'cmd' is required, and the effect is gone. - thomas -- Thomas Moestl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0015675/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/ PGP fingerprint: 1C97 A604 2BD0 E492 51D0 9C0F 1FE6 4F1D 419C 776C To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
