hi ingo, thanks for your reply. > I can't talk about the internals of the mount(2) syscall, > so i pass on that one to people who know better.
!!! i feel i should emphasize, i am *not* presently suggesting any change to the mount(2) *system call* i *am* suggesting a change to the mount(8) *command* i would expect C programmers to know what they are doing, but not some Charlie root who wants to make hotplugd(8) mount(8) an sd(4). i feel i should also emphasize, i am new to this, and did not expect anything out of it. i use OpenBSD, and after learning that OpenSTMP had used sytem(3) rather than execv(3) resulting in a bug reminiscent of the morris-worm, i felt maybe it was within my grasp to help improve OpenBSD, but obviously theo has other ideas. keep up the good work, reuben.
