Rather one should look at what changes OpenBSD has done to a piece of code since they imported it from NetBSD and compare with FreeBSD code to see if the OpenBSD change is applicable to us. {Net,Open}BSD kept a lot of Net/2 [influenced] code (not sure how they were allowed to do that), while we started fresh with 4.4BSD. Thus diffs between us and them in userland utils and be quite different. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
