[comp.windows.news] Problem with getsocketlocaladdress

rudolf@morlich.turing.ac.uk (Jim Rudolf) (03/20/90)

We've noticed some unusual behavior between X and NeWS, and we're
wondering if this 

When running psh in OpenWindows1.0 on a sparc, the following line
of code produces a typical response:

  (%socketl2001) (r) file getsocketlocaladdress ==
  (2516582412.2001;rannoch)

Then we do something as innocuous as adding a new machine to the X
access list:

  xhost +glass

Now, repeating the line in psh produces:

  (%socketl2001) (r) file getsocketlocaladdress ==
  (2516582417.2001;glass)

Is this correct?  We wanted to add a host to the access list, but we
didn't want to change our default NeWS server.  Can anyone else repro-
duce this?

Thanks for the help,
