Warner Losh <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |Works As Intended CC| |[email protected] Status|Open |Closed --- Comment #5 from Warner Losh <[email protected]> --- So the proposed patch is bad. It can't possibly work. And even if we do fix it, it's not clear what the right thing to do is. And we already make sure the first digit is 't' later in readjob(), which is what we enforce in the rename routine. And we already make certain assumptions about the format of the cf file name that's passed over from the remote host, and if a remote host doesn't conform to that, weird things are going to happen. And HP-UX systems are vanishingly rare these days. So given all these considerations, we should let it fail since we have no way of knowing, generally, if a remote system is sending us mal-formed names what the right thing to do. In this case, it's to hack the name to have 'f' as the second character, but I don't think that's the right thing to do generically. Plus we've had a lot of work on our lpd to make it more robust, and I think doing a hack like this goes against that grain. As such, I'm closing this bug as invalid. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
