This is system dependent. The command-line option processing code in single_server_main() modifies "optarg" as a side-effect of split_at(): case 'o': /* XXX Use split_nameval() */ if ((oval = split_at(optarg, '=')) == 0) oval = ""; mail_conf_update(optarg, oval); if (strcmp(optarg, VAR_SYSLOG_NAME) == 0) redo_syslog_init = 1; break; This replaces the "=" in the argv[n] array element with a '\0' and can (system dependent) cause ps(1) to display "-o stress" rather than "-o stress=". On my system this leads to: ... smtpd -n smtp -t inet -u -o stress -o virtual_alias_maps $smtpd_virtual_maps with "=" replaced by argument separating white-space, and thus two spaces between 'stress' and '-o virtual_alias_maps[=]$smtpd_virtual_maps' -- Viktor.
