Hi:
Please correct me if I got this wrong.
But would the following piece of code wrong?
By looking at lines 39 and 120, is line 120 code not correct?
Or maybe hurd is using different <netdb.h> than what Gnu/Linux is
using? Please enlighten me if this is the case.
excerpt from hurd/nfs/mount.c:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
38 /* Service name for portmapper */
39 char *pmap_service_name = "sunrpc";
109 /* Lookup the portmapper port number */
110 if (pmap_service_name)
111 {
112 struct servent *s;
113
114 /* XXX This will always fail! pmap_service_name will always
be "sunrpc"
115 What should pmap_service_name really be? By definition
the second
116 argument is either "tcp" or "udp" Thus, is this backwards
117 (as service_name suggests)? If so, should it read:
118 s = getservbyname (pmap_service_name, "udp");
119 or is there something I am missing here? */
120 s = getservbyname ("sunrpc", pmap_service_name);
121 if (s)
122 pmapport = s->s_port;
123 else
124 pmapport = htons (pmap_service_number);
125 }
126 else
127 pmapport = htons (pmap_service_number);
excerpt from getservbyname manpage (on Redhat Linux 7.2):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
struct servent *getservbyname(const char *name, const char *proto);
The getservbyname() function returns a servent structure
for the line from /etc/services that matches the service
name using protocol proto. If proto is NULL, any protocol
will be matched.
Sincerely
Hong Zhang
