Hello, Thanks for pointing that out to me. However, I don't think the kernel strncpy implementation is exactly the same as that of Standard C lib implementation. Iwas just looking at it from the kernel code context. There's a point in doing it the "kernel" way, to save precious CPU cycles from being wasted otherwise.
