>Description:

	bmon(1) shows tap0 interface on this system as ``tap0�^K��c^C.''

	Probably the kernel driver is missing some '\0'.

	This has been observed in netbsd-5 and netbsd-6.  netbsd-3 didn't
	have this issue.

	Run bmon(1) on a system where tap(4) interface is configured, and watch
	garbage on the screen.

 What is bmon(1) ?

 Sounds like a bug in that program to me.

 From net/bmon description:

 ``Bmon is an interface bandwidth monitor.  It is able to generate and
 draw three types of diagrams: The overview diagram which is a list of
 all interfaces and their send/receive rates.  A very MRTG like
 graphical diagram in ASCII showing the rate over a specific time
 period in a bar diagram.  The details diagram which contains all
 counters of an interface such as total bytes sent/received, errors,
 compressed packets and so on.''

 It might be that this is a bug in bmon, although it shows up only
 on tap(4) interfaces in NetBSD.

 If you are sure I made a mistake and it's a bug in that software,
 feel free to close the PR.  For me, it looks like there's something
 not NULL-terminated in NetBSD, but YOU are the NetBSD masters,
 not me ;)

 Does 

 	ifconfit -a

 show the name properly? What API is bmon using to query the names?

 You are talking about this one?

 No idea yet, but a non-terminated string where the spec requires a null
 terminated one would likely cause a lot more fallout, so I'd be
 slightly suprised.

 (side note: should there be a pkgsrc for it?)

 Yes, ifconfig -a shows `tap0' properly.

 It uses sysctl interface.

 In `sysctl -a' `tap0' looks OK, also.  So it seems you were right :)

 Maybe... (sorry, only w3m at hand, and didn't look deeply into the github
 page.)  Although in pkgsrc bmon is at version 2.0.1.  This looks like
 something newer.

 It is in pkgsrc net/bmon, maybe we just need an update.

 Ah, thanks!

 But it works for me:

   #   Interface                RX Rate         RX #     TX Rate         TX #
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 whoever-brings-the-night.aprisoft.de (source: local)                            
   0   bge0                     206.00B            1     223.00B            1
   1   lo0                      101.00B            1     101.00B            1

 But on the status line I get garbage for all interfaces:

 ÿÿÿÿ`0v interface, v next interface, <- prev node, -> next node, ? help     

 Might have to do with tons of -Wformat warnings I got during compilation.

 So I guess we should close the PR.  Sory for the noise :)

Nah, let's just make it a bug against the net/bmon package.
Stuff should work; one of the reasons we have pkgsrc is so we can patch

 Now it doesn't compile for me.

 I did only cvs up -rHEAD -dPA in net/bmon, since I'm using
 stable pkgsrc branch.

 Here's the log:

 Do you have any idea?  Maybe it's something wrong with my
 configuration.

 Also... One of the old patches you removed was, I think, to allow
 compilation with NetBSD sysctl headers.

 Thank you for your work!

 That appears to be choking on __unused, which is odd...

 (these should probably be patched)

 dunno about this.

 I see a patch-src_in_sysctl.c from 2013, but it looks to be related to
 the original problem in this PR - null termination of interface names.

 I think it now can be closed, since we don't have a NetBSD 6
 installation anymore, and it works fine on -7 and above.
