Greetings,

 
I just got the nightly snapshot and now I am getting the following error
when trying to compile it:

 
clientupdate.c: In function 'main':

clientupdate.c:49: error: too few arguments to function
'drop_root_and_removesuid'

make[1]: *** [clientupdate] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/hobbit/snapshot/client'

make: *** [client] Error 2

 
Any ideas?

 
Thanks,

 
Adam

What OS was that on?  I got the same thing with OpenBSD 3.8.

I had this happen on SLES 9 (server) and Tru64 5.1b PK5 (client)

Ah, looks like "drop_root_and_removesuid()" is expecting a char *.  I'm not
sure what "fn" the function refers to, so I'm not sure how to fix the
problem.

I found my answer in one of the other source files.
I changed the line
"drop_root_and_removesuid();" in client/clientupdate.c
to match a similar line in client/logfetch.c:
"drop_root_and_removesuid(argv[0]);"

That seems to have done the trick, and it compiled fine and seem to be
running fine too.

I've never made a patch file before, so hopefully I got this right.
At least, it seemed to work when I did a dry run of it on my
computer...
