qaccess.dc qsupport.dc queries2.c
Log Message:
Kludge around Ingres brokenness in two places:
* get_hostalias - If the machine name has no wildcards, look up
its mach_id and then do the query indexed by that instead of
by the machine name. This takes less than a second, vs. up to a
minute or so the other way. (This speeds up the `show machine
info' command in moira, which is used a lot by the RCCs this time
of year.)
* get_user_account_by_login - the sipb-athena moira client was
built from an older source tree that didn't have the patch
to never call gual with a string longer than 8 characters.
I hacked access_login to notice this and return an error.
(Because otherwise, it takes the server several minutes to
return `permission denied' when a user tries to use the `create
mailing list' command.)
Neither of these will be propagated to the Oracle server since it
doesn't have a problem with either of those queries.
