hi Florian, These line + strcpy(bcbearer->media.name, "tipc-multicast");
i gues that means tipc_bclink_name ? an even more secure version could be like this: strncpy(bcbearer->media.name,sizeof(bcbearer->media.name),tipc_bclink_name); (in case someone ever changes the size of cbearer->media.name or tipc_bclink_name and the hope that wchat_t will never reach the kernel) re, wh Florian Westphal wrote: > From: Florian Westphal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > convert sprintf(a,b) to strcpy(a,b).
