Re: fdescfs functional in 6.1?

I guess I just expected it to print all character device entries for the
file descriptors open by my process.

Kind of like the old /dev/fd/1 /dev/fd/2 directories used to be under MAKEDEV...

Looks just like I think it should.

Then:
s2# mount -t fdescfs fdescfs /dev/fd
s2# ls -l /dev/fd
total 16
crw--w---- 1 root tty 5, 1 Jul 28 18:01 0

crw--w---- 1 root tty 5, 1 Jul 28 18:01 2
d-w------- 1 mailnull mailnull 512 Jul 23 00:01 3
d--------- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 25 03:25 4
s2# umount /dev/fd

This thing is all over the map.. permissions changed, a *directory*
for fd's 3 and 4?

What do you expect ls to open to print a *directory* listing? :)

fd's 0, 1, and 2 are /dev/tty, and the permissions look fine.

fd 3 is your current directory (so I guess you're in some smtp-related
directory?), and fd 4 is the directory on the commandline (/dev/fd).
