- I'm in the process of porting something called netlog for my boss - and
- of course, with a 3b2/310 there are going to be some irregularity, especially
- if the code is written for bsd 4.3. Big Surprize, right? Well, the
- particular problems I have:
- 1) ftruncate - apparently our libraries have no such animal.
-
- 2) mkdir - apparently our libraries also have no such animal.
-
- 3) setreuid, setregid - these apparently are designed to set the current
- programs uid and gid - it has a comment that says, "For Consistency." I'm
- guessing that I can just comment the suckers out and there will be no problems.
- Ideas? what do they really do?
-
- So, I guess if anyone has every written code for these things (PD) that they'd
- like to ship to me, that would be cool, but equally as valuable would be an
- indication of what they do, and what they take. I'll write the code myself
- if need be.
