I agree that the source tree should use setpgid(). However I don't think that changing our setpgrp definition would bring much (any?) benefit. The mismatch here between SysV and BSD is known since a long time, and I bet that a bunch of stuff in ports will use the BSD idiom inside simple #ifdef BSD checks. I have no idea right now of the number of ports that would be affected, but the efforts spent by porters on this issue should considered. -- jca | PGP : 0x1524E7EE / 5135 92C1 AD36 5293 2BDF DDCC 0DFA 74AE 1524 E7EE
