Is there any good reason why kfreebsd does not set HOST_NAME_MAX but MAXHOSTNAMELEN? Or is it just to annoy people and to litter other people's code with ifdef orgies? HOST_NAME_MAX is POSIX, so I see really no reason to add some compat kludgery, for MAXHOSTNAMELEN. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/limits.h.html Fix your glibc first. And if there's a really good reason not to, then at least supply me with a patch, because otherwise I don't care.
