If the remaining userland issues are dealt with, then perhaps. It is currently necessary to rebuild certain utilities after changing this, however, so making it a simple kernel compile time option isn't sufficient. A much better solution would be for someone to spend the time to implement the needed VM frobbing of modifying, at BSDI binary exec-time, the ps_strings address constant in the binary's crt0 that is causing the problem. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
