Package: xmotd
Version: 1.17.3b-9
Dear maintainers,
on several Debian 9 computers, the stretch version of xmotd crashed
every time with the following error message:
xmotd: Bad address
Then, I installed version 1.17.3b-8 from oldstable, which did not crash.
Then, I built from source, which gave the following results:
1. Neither 1.17.3b-8 nor 1.17.3b-9 work if compiled under stretch.
2. Version 1.17.3b-8 works if compiled under jessie.
3. Version 1.17.3b-9 works if compiled under jessie AND hardening flags
are removed from debian/rules.
Regards
Christoph
