swapping bytes, fpos_t

Hi, while porting the ogle dvd player I faced the problem of needing fast byte swap routines for 16, 32 and 64 bit words. After grepping through the -CURRENT sources I came up with at least three different assembler implementations. - one in NTOHS, NTOHL - one undocumented swap16/swap32 used by

Hi folks, Is there a particular reason, other than the desire for more setgid programs, that ifmcstat(8) is setgid kmem? It seems that there's no reason anyone but root would want to use it, anyway. OpenBSD and NetBSD already nuked its setgid bit; any reason why we shouldn't follow suit? Thank
