site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com John, step down. 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). -- Terry _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Is that common sense? I am the senior engineer on the Kernel team for BSD, Mike is more senior than me, and Dean Manages the IOKit team. "No" means "No". We originated kauth. It is not a port from NetBSD. Thanks for playing, though. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
