I must admit, I thought anything linked against libutil would be able to
call setproctitle(3) (yes, I know that named doesn't).  I also thought
setproctitle(3) changes what you see via /proc.  I could be wrong on
either or both counts, but don't really feel like checking. ;-)

Regardless, you should still take my advice and contact Robert Watson if
you're really interested in contributing to FreeBSD security.

:-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
