I'm sorry that's incorrect, but that's for playing. getnetname() is a Secure RPC function. Only FreeBSD-current has Secure RPC support. (Adding it required fairly big changes, which is why it's not in 2.2.5.) If you have a FreeBSD-current system, getnetname() is prototyped in /usr/include/rpc/auth.h. XDM can use Secure RPC for authentication but this fearture is normally disabled in the stock X11 distribution as it entails the use of some DES encryption routines. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" =============================================================================
