I'm not sure I understand the significance of the REALDOMAIN configuration parameter in nntp 1.5.11. If GHNAME is defined, then the host name is obtained by calling gethostname() and then passing the result to gethostbyname(). This is all done in uname(). If REALDOMAIN is defined, then the call to gethostbyname() is repeated. In neither place is the return status of gethostbyname() checked, so if there is a name server failure, a core dump will most likely result. -- Don "Truck" Lewis Harris Semiconductor Internet: del@mlb.semi.harris.com PO Box 883 MS 62A-028 Phone: (407) 729-5205 Melbourne, FL 32901
