A recurring problem, mainly on the BSD's, and also on some Linux
installations, is a failure for ttsession to start and any clients
trying to attach to it failing due to having a hostname that is not
associated with an IP address.
This is due to code which looks up the hostname, and if it does not
have a valid host record, then TT just fails.
This has required those users to add an alias for their host name in
their /etc/hosts file.
With this commit, this should no longer be necessary. Now, if
_XGethostbyname() fails when looking up the local name, a default of
"localhost" is used, which should always exist.
This was run tested on Linux and FreeBSD 11.1. It was compile tested
on OpenBSD 6.2.
While CDE builds fine with gcc6 on FreeBSD 11, the default clang build
was broken in a few places. This commit allows CDE to build now using
the default clang 6 system compiler.
This is enabled by default. To disable, add:
in the config/cf/site.def or host.def file.
You will need to have the libtirpc-dev package installed.
The benefit is that you will no longer need to run rpcbind in insecure
mode (the -i option). There are other benefits we may be able to take
advantage of in the future, like supporting IPV6 for ToolTalk.
This patch fixes many warnings from the beginning of the build up to
and including the depend stage. Nearly all warnings should be gone
even with -Wall.
In init() there was code iterating over all of the possible file
descriptors in a svc_fdset. fdsets are limited to FD_SETSIZE. This
caused coredumps on FreeBSD 10, and possibly other hidden issues.
Moving to poll(), rather than select() would be better, but is a bigger
job. For now, just limit to the FD_SETSIZE that select() requires.
