Close, but what I think he's really asking about is this:

  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)

Here's what I have in my .emacs

(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)             ;; don't insert tabs
  (turn-on-font-lock)
;;  (local-set-key "\C-cd"    'ctypes-define-type)
;;  (local-set-key "\C-ce"    'ctypes-edit)
  (local-set-key "\C-l" 'recenter)
  (local-set-key '[A-mouse-1] 'find-tag)
  (setq c-basic-offset 2)
  (c-set-offset (quote arglist-intro) (quote +) nil)
  (c-set-offset 'substatement-open 0)
  (c-set-offset 'case-label '+)
  (setq c-block-comments-indent-p 3))

Cheers,
Tanner
