At the moment, libcom_err and libss are used by the `kadmin' facility. It is also possible to use libcom_err with Kerberos itself (there are hooks in libkrb for that purpose, or at least there were last time I touched it). There are other third-party subsystems that use it (such as Kerberos v5, Zephyr, and my little integrated-services-object-format library that will find its way into FreeBSD in the mid- to long-term future). It's a very useful facility. I have been comtemplating extending the err(3) interface to provide Common Error entry-points in addition to the usual `errno' entry points. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
