Description fschneider 2003-07-14 04:21:07 UTC 
xfree-4.3.0-r3 
 
error in  2000_all_4.3.0-ipv6-server.patch 
 
patched file: 
 
xc/lib/SM/sm_genid.c 
 
error: when ipv6 is enabled when building xfree, 
the function SmsGenerateClientID misinterpretes 
the return value of getaddrinfo, resulting in 
generating no ID. 
 
This leads to the "...is severely misconfigured" 
warning message from ksmserver when starting kde 
 
 
line 140: 
    if (getaddrinfo(hostname,NULL,NULL,&ai) != 0) { 
should be 
    if (getaddrinfo(hostname,NULL,NULL,&ai) == 0) { 
 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xfree-4.3.0-r3 with USE="ipv6"  
2. start kde with startx  
 



I have only tested the SmsGenerateClientID sm_genid.c alone and with the correction 
it now generates an ID, but I didn't do a complete re-emerge of xfree with the patched line.
