Dont see any reason not to(?). Applied, thanks. --- sysctl_net_unix.c Sat Apr 19 19:49:10 2003 +++ sysctl_net_unix.c.new Fri May 2 13:48:11 2003 Please use properly rooted patches in the future. Ie. soemthing like: --- a/linux/net/unix/sysctl_net_unix.c.orig Sat Apr 19 19:49:10 2003 +++ b/linux/net/unix/sysctl_net_unix.c Fri May 2 13:48:11 2003 Patches like yours don't work at all with the automated patch scripts lots of us use to ease the burdon of applying lots of patches. In fact, even if I had changed into net/unix/ before applying your patch, it would fail because there patch tries to patch a file named sysctl_net_unix.c.new which of course does not exist. Please, this is very lazy and causes me to waste a lot of time fixing up your patch which I should not have to do. :(
