Hello, Previous week,I come up with ways to test the nonblocking bahavior on wall(1),and I am too optimistic on my progress on my previous application wall(1).last week I got some misunderstanding on the process of capsicumizing an application,so I have to discuss with mentor more,and the code might need more rewrite. In the last patch,I used clang-format to format my code,however,the tool done too much on formatting,because it is a legacy application,however I didnt expect such result.my mentor adviced me to roll back the change,I will fix it in next patch. This week I learned how to debug with gdb and will fix the problem from libc system call in wall() because many of these system call in libc contains system calls that is not permitted in capability mode. complete work: test method of wall(1) next work: recapsicumize wall(1) reupload the wall application to phabricator start capsicumize tftpd(8) if possible Regards Hans Lu
