What were you trying to do?
pmtg cfyi
What's wrong:
It dumped core.
What should have happened:
Should have printed out the meetings list.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
There is no man page....
The problem as indicated by the core dump is as follows:
_open_rpc(7fffe12a,fc3c,7fffe19c) from _main+5e
_main(1,7fffe1cc,7fffe1d4) from start+3d
And from the source:
pmtg.c:
open_rpc (machine, "discuss", &result)
The definition is
rpc_conversation open_rpc (host, port_num, service_id, code)
char *host; /* hostname to connect to */
int port_num; /* port number to use */
char *service_id; /* authenticator service id */
register int *code; /* return code */
1) port_num should not be "discuss"
2) service_id is missing
Core dump not surprising....
The problem exists in 7.1 and the discuss locker.
