I really can't see that this is important.
Where is it written in policy that sendmail may change it's name "sendmail:
accepting connections", or that ftpd may change it's name to "ftpd:
xxx.dialup.isp.net"?
Yet I have no complaints with this. It's rather useful.
Why should policy mandate acceptable and unacceptable uses of argv[0]?
Policy doesn't mandate command-line options, does it?
