Peter: You will find that the current staff is working toward: 1) 1 memory allocator 2) 1 logging module 3) simplifying the bound checking. Now, we are only in progress. You are welcome to join the process to help fix GateD or you are welcome to continue complaining. Merit provides 2 different routing demons - GateD and MRT for public consumption. Both have BGP. If you don't like GateD and don't want to fix it, perhaps you'd like MRT. If you have specific suggestions on the logging modules, we have a "gnats" interface where we record suggestions and bugs. Please feel free to enter your specific comments there. We welcome any suggestions even if you aren't going to use the GateD daemon in the future. http://www.gated.org/new_web/support/index.html Susan Hares Merit GateD consortium ======== Your note June 8th What about gated ? You mean that we do not all admire its *three* diferent memory allocators, two different logging modules, two different bounds checking wossits etc ? ==============
