Re: bin/27205: Listing all users in the passwd file

Good points, glad to see the usual FreeBSD approach of allowing only the best into the code ;) Some sort of wrapper makes perfect sense for the sendmail option - I did think of this, but your right, it is best to assume the user-friendly approach and not give users tweaking to do out of the box.

Re: bin/27205: Listing all users in the passwd file

I'd think id(1) would be a more proper place, as it already knows how to format various passwd(5) and group(5) information. How about the attached patch? (and I'm probably starting another of those bikesheds as to whether new options should be added to existing utilities..) G'luck, Peter --

Yup, thats the sort of thing I meant. Worthy of a review by any of the commiters? I can remember a big thing going around about modifications to existing programs a couple of weeks ago, this was not intended to upset / annoy / start a flame war anyone! :) Jamie On 2001.05.09 15:37 Peter

sysctl / CTL_DEBUG

hello there! There is the following phrase in sysctl(3) manpage: == The system defines twenty (struct ctldebug) variables named debug0 through debug19. == Though `sysctl debug | wc -l` shows 43 sysctl variables. And, I was unable to locate definition of 'struct ctldebug' neither
