What were you trying to do?
Compile "hostinfo", from the source in
/source/athena/athena.bin/hostinfo
What's wrong:
The code is buggy
What should have happened:
The code should not have been buggy
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
hostinfo(1), Kernighan & Richie, "The C programming language"
Specifically, on line 155 of hostinfo.c the code is:
if(host_entry = (struct hostent *)0)
This should be
if(host_entry == (struct hostent *)0)
Here's a patch:

}
}
! if(host_entry == (struct hostent *)0)
{
host_entry = gethostbyname(hostname);
if(host_entry)
