I'm not questioning your knowledge here nor that of anyone else. I've
got no time for it and no interest. Really. I came here asking why the
BSD interfaces have been crippled to a certain extent, and that's it.
If you don't want to provide a consistent answer it's fine, just don't
enter a red herring argument about what makes your actual statements
more reasonable than mine, when you are not providing technical facts
supporting them. I could care less about your alleged pedigree. If
one's professional position and its required knowledge matches his
current skillset and reasoning is, again, moot.
We might as well move on the question I sent about mbuf structures and
NKE ipfilters. Those interfaces are examples of good work you've done
there, so congratulations for that one. On other hand. I still think
kauth is severely limited (crippled) as it is implemented right now.
Check the current NetBSD code which is what you ported to XNU
originally and adapt the new changes to XNU (from -CURRENT).
Relax.
