I'll suggest that it be removed. You're right. It is a pain to have to correct broken s/w to understand 4.4BSD standards. Bug the authors/maintainers to correct their s/w. That variable has been declared through 3 releases of FreeBSD, and is in ALL 4.4 derrived BSD's... If you don't believe me, ask someone who was around in the pre-2.0 days (like myself) and porting s/w to FreeBSD... Sorry, I don't think it's going away or changing. Gary
