You're right that this should be int though. That's what the solaris man page indicates...I grabbed the prototype from the wrong terminal it would seem. > In any case, I support installing this if it does something useful > on at least some (Solaris) machine, since the current situation does > not appear to work on any (Solaris) machine. It could be a local modification of the inetutils gnulib code until the proper version is implemented?
