One problem is that the defines are not always used (while they should). Basically you will have to review the code (shouldn't be that hard) for locations where anyting happens with DSes. While you're at it you may as well provide a patch (please). Every part of the program is in its own file so you need to scan allmost all of the .c files. > #define DS_NAM_FMT "%19[a-zA-Z0-9_-]" > #define DS_NAM_SIZE 20 Change 20 and 19 into 256 and 255 (255 chars allowed). I don't know if you'll hit some limitation elsewhere, I do know you need to change both numbers. > #define DST_FMT "%19[A-Z]" > #define DST_SIZE 20 This should need no change. It is the data source type i.e. AVERAGE, GAUGE. cheers, -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
