Does anyone have the latest version of pathalias running on an ATT 3b2? The source that we have (dated 1/86) compiles but does not execute properly. Either our source is damaged or we have managed to overlook the obvious in compiling it correctly. The previous version (dated 8/85) appears to at least execute properly. Any help or direction is welcome. Below is the config.h file used to compile pathalias: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* pathalias -- by steve bellovin, as told to peter honeyman */ #define STRCHR /* have strchr, not index -- probably system v */ #define UNAME /* have uname() -- probably system v or 8th ed. */ #define MEMSET /* have memset() -- probably system v or 8th ed. */ /* #define GETHOSTNAME /* have gethostname() -- probably 4.2bsd */ /* #define BZERO /* have bzero() -- probably 4.2bsd */ /* default place for dbm output of makedb (or use -o file at run-time) */ #define ALIASDB "/usr/lib/news/palias.new" /************************************************************************** * * * +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ * * | | * * | END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION | * * | | * * | EDIT NO MORE | * * | | * * +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ * * * **************************************************************************/ #ifdef MAIN #ifndef lint static char *c_sccsid = "@(#)config.h 8.1 (down!honey) 86/01/19"; #endif /*lint*/ #endif /*MAIN*/ /* * malloc/free fine tuned for pathalias. * * MYMALLOC should work everwhere, so it's not a configuration * option (anymore). nonetheless, if you're getting strange * core dumps (or panics!), comment out the following manifest, * and use the inferior C library malloc/free. * * report problems to princeton!honey. */ #define MYMALLOC /**/ #ifdef MYMALLOC #define malloc mymalloc #define calloc(n, s) malloc ((n)*(s)) #define free(s) #define cfree(s) extern char *memget(); #endif #ifdef STRCHR #define index strchr #define rindex strrchr #else #define strchr index #define strrchr rindex #endif #ifdef BZERO #define strclear(s, n) ((void) bzero((s), (n))) #else /*!BZERO*/ #ifdef MEMSET extern char *memset(); #define strclear(s, n) ((void) memset((s), 0, (n))) #else /*!MEMSET*/ extern void strclear(); #endif /*MEMSET*/ #endif /*BZERO*/ extern char *malloc(); extern char *strcpy(), *index(), *rindex(); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below is a short input file to the latest version of pathalias: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- peregrine ccicpg(DAILY), felix(DEMAND), imt3b2(DEMAND) ccicpg bellcore(EVENING), calma(EVENING), ccice5(DEMAND), ccivax(EVENING), pixar(WEEKLY), ism780(DAILY), leo(DIRECT), okeeffe(EVENING), peregrine(DEMAND), rlgvax(EVENING), sperry(EVENING), thirdi(DEMAND), ucivax(DAILY), ulysses(EVENING), verdix(EVENING) felix abspc(POLLED), attunix(DEAD), birtch(POLLED), ccicpg(POLLED), csuf(DEMAND), fritz(DIRECT), gcss20(DEMAND), ghsvax(DEMAND), hplabs(DEMAND), oliveb(DEMAND), peregrine(POLLED), scgvaxd(EVENING), sco(EVENING), trwrb(DEMAND), ucivax(DEMAND), vortex(DEMAND) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the pathalias output of the run: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can't get there from here: P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP P(PP imt3b2 %s -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
