Glenn, 

It's my feeling that we should maybe note the problems with some version
of Linux that are not Red Hat ie Debian Intel linux but not make any
coding changes.  I have a feeling that this could get out of hand real
quick.  Current, most of the problems already come from Linux.

Just my .02

In rpc/clnt_generic.c the call to "clnt_create" has the 2nd and 3rd arguments as
"u_long", but the system file /usr/include/rpc/clnt.h has them defined as
"u_int".  This causes a compilation error.


1. in generic_clnt the "const" needs to be removed from the 1st and 4th
parameters to clnt_create.

2. in configure, you need to look for /var/run/syslogd.pid (the script
looks  for /var/run/syslog.pid).
