There is another problem with newsinput.c....When receiving an article from
a path: xx!yy!uu!user The author's system & name are put into the correct
arrays, but the loops have the wrong termination variables. The system
name terminates when it overflows NAMESZ & the author names terminates
when it overflows SYSSZ. What I did was to simply change the code, thus:
-------------------Start of Code-----------
/*
* TEMPORARY KLUDGE...
* throw out domain part until host
* name length increased
*/
if ((c = line[j + i]) == '\0' || c == '.')
break;
origsys[i] = c;
}
origsys[i] = '\0';
}
else
{ /* host!user */
int delim = j;
line[delim] = '\0'; /* drop uucp route */
for (i = delim - 1; i > 0; i--)
{
if (line[i] == '!' || line[i] == ':')
{
i++;
break;
}
}
j = i; /* copy host */
+ for (i = 0; i < (SYSSZ - 1); i++)
{
if ((c = line[j + i]) == '\0')
break;
origsys[i] = c;
}
origsys[i] = '\0';
j = delim + 1; /* copy user */
+ for (i = 0; i < (NAMESZ - 1); i++)
{
if ((c = line[j + i]) == '\0')
break;
authname[i] = c;
}
authname[i] = '\0';
}
/*
* get fromsys, which is the first host in path
*/
if (p = index (line, '!'))
{
*p = '\0';
strncpy (fromsys, line, SYSSZ - 1);
}
else
strcpy (fromsys, origsys);
}
-----------End of change, also the EOF of newsinput.c---------
Note: the + lines are the only ones that actually changed. -Dan A. Dickey
