implementation. But, please, share in this case your vision about
implementation details. Thanks.
I don't have a vision about the implementation ATM. I have a rough idea of
the purpose of the user accounting functionality -- from which I would say
that it can be implemented in the current Haiku -- but I don't know any
details. A reasonable approach would be to first find out, how this DB is
actually used. I don't mean the API -- the POSIX specs cover that -- but
which program/component uses the API when and how. Also, there are no
removal operations in the API, so the DB must either be cleared and/or
culled at some point (at boot?).
Once all that is clear, we can think of how an appropriate implementation
could look like on Haiku.
