19990114: Bug in ldm 5.0.6 with Debian Intel linux (fwd)

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).
