While reading -questions and a mail from mark thompson
<thompson@tgsoft.com> (questions-digest Sunday, 16 February 1997 Volume 03 :
Number 073), I noticed that `at' still thinks that login name length is 8
chars.
>How-To-Repeat:
In /usr/src/usr.bin/at
xp11# grep 8 *.c
[...]
at.c: || (strlen(mailname) > 8) || (getpwnam(mailname)==NULL))
^^^^
at.c: fprintf(fp, "#!/bin/sh\n# atrun uid=%ld gid=%ld\n# mail %8s %d\n",
^^^^^
[...]
xp11#
In /usr/src/libexec/atrun
atrun.c: if (fscanf(stream, "#!/bin/sh\n# atrun uid=%ld gid=%ld\n# mail %8s %d",
^^^^
>Fix:
use MAXLOGNAME from sys/param.h or UT_NAMESIZE from utmp.h (don't forget that
MAXLOGNAME == 16 == 15 + '\0').
