adding a new function to libc

Any comments, suggestions, swears concerning adding a new function, strndup(), to libc? So that instead of permitting it to attempt to allocate a large chunk of memory, it is possible to give it a max length. char * strndup(str, max_len) const char *str; size_t max_len; {

FreeBSD 4.3 crashing with USB hub attached...

I just installed FreeBSD 4.3 on a machine that runs Linux, and had been running FreeBSD 3.5-4.1, various releases. No problems, at least nothing major. However, when booting up after the install, the machine crashed before it set all devices. I noticed that the system had trouble with some of

xargs(1) "replstr" patch

Folks, The attached patch adds a "replacement string" feature to xargs(1). There's a full description in the man page update (also attached), but the following should demonstrate the new functionality: dima@spike% ./xargs -J [] echo CMD LINE [] ARGS < test CMD LINE this is the co

possible bug in/around dscheck()?

Hi, I was mirroring some disks (happily ignoring badblocks), using rsh source_machine dd if=/dev/ad0 bs=1MB | dd of=/dev/ad0 bs=1MB with FreeBSD-4.3-release running both machines. This sometimes (disastrously) aborts when a partition boundary is crossed. Sure enough, dscheck() invoked from dis

RE: kernel boot up problem

Thanks for the reply. I first tried to change the IRQ from the BIOS. I saw that the IRQ of both the cards changes together. The machine has 4 CPUs and I am booting from CPU #1. The bios shows 4 PCI slots. The "Plug and Play OS" entry in the BIOS is set to "No". Any help will be greatly appreciated

ulimit -b in /bin/sh

Not sure if -arch is a better list for this. If so, followups there. The units for sbsize in limits is currently displayed in bytes, not kilobytes. Changing the output to kb to be consistent with the others (datasize, stacksize, memoryuse, etc.) shouldn't be a problem... The problem would be w
