Sorry for spoiling party but it's me again with old question about setproctitle(3) again. Even if setproctitle(3) is not posix, even if hackish implememtation in wu-ftpd & sendmail worked due to outstanding bug in Linux kernel it's not excuse to ignore the whole problem. I repeat: LOTS of programs out there (ftpd, sendmail & inn are just few examples) using setproctitle(). setproctitle() DOES NOT work in 2.3 anymore (and no, stupid Johnson's ideas will NOT work here: you just can not change `wc -c /proc/<number>/cmdline` from userspace in 2.3 like it was possible in 2.2). Is it Ok to break TONS of important programs and to not propose any fix at all ?
I've sent fix to lklm few days ago and got ABSOLUTELY not responce from anyone (except Jeff Garzik who just stated that he did not feel he's right person to review patch). Of course mount() behaviour is more interesting but what about good old sendmail ?
