Whatever. Ulrich Drepper is/was an asshat for numerous reasons but was not the only one that was not happy with strlcpy. The best part is that as of a year ago, OpenSSH itself still contained buggy usages of strlcpy, and at least one with a security problem.

I agree that the _s functions API are crap and quite bizarre, notice I did not say they weren't, but that doesn't mean another flawed solution should have been chosen instead.
