Hi, In arch/mips/syscall.c::_sys_sysmips(), case SETNAME, isn't one of the strncpy() and strlcpy() unneeded? down_write(&uts_sem); strncpy(system_utsname.nodename, nodename, len); nodename[__NEW_UTS_LEN] = '\0'; strlcpy(system_utsname.nodename, nodename, sizeof(system_utsname.nodename)); up_write(&uts_sem); -- ~Randy
