Subject: Bug#2561: kfm hangs at suns with long hostnames
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kfm-devel&m=94881990725625


Package: kfm
Version: 1.1.2

I am using: Solaris7 (SunOS 5.7) with patches 11/99
            kde 1.1.2 precompiled (from your ftp server)

Bug in 'kdelibs-1.1.2/kfmlib/kfm.cpp', function 'displayName' lines 33-57:
	kfm.cpp:49:	if (gethostname(name, 25) == 0)

If we have a long hostname (25 chars or more, like an FQN) the string in
'name' will not be null-terminated. SUN man pages say:
	The  returned name is null-terminated unless insufficient space
	is provided.

The result is that the socket for kioslave to talk to kfm is not set up in
a usable way.

Patch: use 'gethostname(name, 2500)' or check in 'name' for null
	termination.


Bug in 'kdelibs-1.1.2/kfmlib/kfm.cpp', function 'displayName' lines 33-57:
	kfm.cpp:43:	if ( d.find( '.' ) == -1 )
				d += ".0";

I think that this line of code should give a ':0.0' display name if it is
':0', but this does not work if you use FQNs (e.g. mail.cosy.sbg.ac.at:0)


Thank you,
-andi
