The reason for the runaway propogation of the microsoft postings is that dbm (or someone) truncated the id field at the tab. When history(ident) checks for existence, it uses the full id, causing "not found". I have patched my ifuncs.c to keep these off my system. I'll include the patch. This is for my Sun, so I don't know if it will work on other types of systems. I'm pretty sure the change is benign; everything seems to work. *** ifuncs.c.2.14 Mon Oct 10 14:45:09 1988 --- ifuncs.c Mon Oct 10 15:00:53 1988 *************** *** 20,25 **** --- 20,26 ---- #endif /* SCCSID */ #include "iparams.h" + #include "string.h" extern long localize(); *************** *** 546,551 **** --- 547,553 ---- */ (void) strcpy(lcident, hp->ident); lcase(lcident); + strtok(lcident, " "); #ifndef NFSCLIENT idlock(lcident); -- Larry Blair ames!vsi1!lmb lmb%vsi1.uucp@ames.arc.nasa.gov

I installed the patch from Larry Blair on hpda (an HP9000 S840) and it works like a champ! Thanks, Larry! Scott Dawkins sdawkins@hpda.hp.com Technical Data Center Manager HP - Information Technology Group (408) 447 - 6963
