Changes in fork ?

[Sergey Kubushin]

Hi, everybody!

I have a question about fork() (?) behaviour. The problem shows itself as
truncated lines in ps output on processes that are forked outta daemons
which use setproctitle() (from sendmail sources) such as sendmail, inetd
etc. All's fine on 2.2.xx kernels, but I have the following under 2.3.xx :

=== Cut ===
22352  ?  S    0:00 sendmail: accepting connectio
22353  ?  S    0:00  \_ sendmail: LAA14150 relay1.cha
.
.
.
  701  ?  S    0:13 inetd
 2765  ?  S    0:01  \_ ftpd: 19
 5294  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: sa
13547  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: fi
14656  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: 19
14760  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: 21
15685  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: sa
16160  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: at
18482  ?  S    0:00  \_ ftpd: 21
.

Is it a known problem? Please point me to the appropriate FAQ if it is...
