as i said, i am new to this, and wanted to discuss something in words before providing a C diff that would doubtless be rejected given that i have only just begun to learn C. i would have been happy to try to contribute a diff, but i felt it better to first bring it up on misc seeing as i am new to OpenBSD and C programming, and (a) my idea might be rejected; (b) my programming skills might not be up to scratch and my patch therefore worthless. my own solution was to use another shell program in the unix fashion, but certainly i will try to diff the source, but it will take a while given that it is new to me and no ones first priority. > or alternative you realize you are lazy ... or a novice. > not allowed to tell others what to do, and you can then shut up. ... or make suggestions... > Really making friends. i am not trying to make friends with someone who will insult me for making a suggestion and giving my honest opinion. i am trying to learn programming and improve the system that runs all my machines. and i didnt mean that facetiously. it really was a bug that i would have had not knowledge of were it not for the patch; it really did remind me of the morris worm which i had just learnt about; and it really did make me think i could do something to help with OpenBSD, seeing as i was disgusted when i first came across system(3), and only satisfied when i learnt about execv(3), which was the first system call i used, and only a short while ago. and even though i persist because i am more interested in BSD than theo, you still have some paranoia that i have some agenda against you.
