Its part of GNU philosophy to avoid arbitrary limits. Therefore, the Hurd aims to have *no* maximum length for paths and hostnames. Everybody should be able to come up with a few misguided limits from the past. Think: 8+3 character filenames, 640K, two-digit year. > When compiling progs that need these values I had to exchange the > variables with the values. This will work, albeit the right fix is to adapt dynamically to the length needed. If you need help with specific code, just ask! -- Robbe
