Looking through the dmesg(1) output from the kernel I built this morning from Linus' git tree, I saw a few: warning: process `date' used the removed sysctl system call Other programs listed as using sysctl are: kmodule, ls, kudzu, sleep newaliases, sendmail and dbus-daemon. Looking at "sleep", I found that the sysctl() call was made before getting to main(). The issue is all the code dragged in by "-lrt". A simple test case: $ cat nop.c main() {} $ gcc -o nop nop.c -lrt $ strace -o nop.out ./nop $ grep sysctl nop.out _sysctl(0x60000ffffe97f3c0) = 0 $ Is my userland too old (vintage RHEL4u1)? -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
