Win32/NT API question: All known SIDs will fit into |SECURITY_MAX_SID_SIZE| bytes, right ? I'm asking because right now the ms-nfs41-client code assumes that all SIDs use a variable amount of memory, and we always have to ask the Win32/NT API about the number of bytes to allocate. If |SECURITY_MAX_SID_SIZE| is the global maximum limit for all Windows versions, then we could simplify the code a lot... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
