Description Thomas T�rnblom 2004-04-16 01:45:49 MDT

Solaris 9 (and higher) has had two new library calls added, "closefrom()", and
"fdwalk()", which operates on open files in a process.

These are a big performance win for systems allowing many open files, and it
would be a good idea to support that also in sudo.

cvs version already uses closefrom() and so will the next release.
