What were you trying to do?
Have expreserve work properly after a workstation crash or
interrupted login session.
What's wrong:
It doesn't, because it looks for the username in the passwd
file and doesn't find it.
What should have happened:
It should use hesiod to look up the username if it can't find
it in the passwd file.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The patch below. Note that my hesiod.h needs to be applied
previous to this, so that hesiod.h declares hes_getpwuid, and
my sendmail fix needs to be applied, so that sendmail will not
claim that the return address is "postmaster" (although that
isn't as important).
I couldn't find other versions of expreserve in /source/FILES,
so I haven't submitted patches for any other platforms. The
fix, however, should be easy on all platforms.
Note that the Makefile/Imakefile in the ex directory will have
to have the correct -I and -L flags to get Athena libraries
added, and will need to define HESIOD, and will need to link
against the hesiod library.
