Umm, no, OpenBSD does not use the same code. OpenBSD fixed this in 2008. ---------------------------- revision 1.9 date: 2008/03/19 03:00:23; author: ray; state: Exp; lines: +4 -4; bcmp(3) tries to return length, which is a size_t, as an int. Instead, just return 1 if there is a difference. Found by lint. OK millert. ---------------------------- Best wishes. Philip Guenther
