Doesn't that mean that pretty much all of what is on unix-wizards is a violation of our license agreements? How many times have we seen somebody explain that X happens when you do Y because you zap the Z entry in the inode? If that's not divulging information about how Unix works internally, then I don't know what is. -- Roy Smith, {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!roy System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 "you can't spell deoxyribonucleic without unix!"

Note that much of this information has been made public. For example,
there is that book that describes the internals of System V.2 and some
of V.3.
You should be safe talking about anything that has been already published.
