FreeBSD mogno.cnpm.embrapa.br 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Mon Dec 6 11:57:18 BRST 2004 root@mogno.cnpm.embrapa.br:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/MOGNO amd64
>Description:
go to the ports:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/rdate; make; make install; rehash
rdate ipe (it works in i386 machines) in this machine (amd64)
mogno# rdate ipe
rdate: Could not read data: Unknown error: 0
mogno#
>How-To-Repeat:
to execute "rdate" (in ports) in an amd64 machine using a i386 machine as a server.
>Fix:
err(1, "Could not connect socket");
if (read(s, &tim, sizeof(time_t)) != sizeof(time_t))
err(1, "Could not read data");
(void) close(s);
the problem is the sizeof of time_t it is 4 in a i386 machine and 8 in a amd64 machine. One solution is to change in the rtime.c file the line with the sizeof to:
if (read(s, &tim, sizeof(time_t)) != 4)
but I'm not sure if this is an elegant solution.
