bug system.c - Solaris

2014-10-14 Thread Maria Teresa Eibe 
 Hi,

I’ve noticed that there seems to be a bug in the code of system.c, function
netsnmp_os_prematch, if net-snmp is to be run on Solaris. The problem would
be the line:



 if ( 0 != uname(utsbuf))

   return -1;



as  uname would return 1 if success in the case of Solaris



I’ve just checked versions 5.2.1.2 and 5.6.2.1 of net-snmp. It seems to be
affecting both.


Regards,

Terry.

POSIX only says non-negative return value on success, so zero and one are
both right.  The code should be if ( 0  uname(...)).  Could you please
file a bug at http://www.net-snmp.org/bugs/ ?

Thanks,
