First, I suggest, Navin, that you search the archives for the
macnetworkprog mailing list using the keyword 'gethostname' as I did
this morning.
It is an education. And as a result of reading the last round of
discussions about gethostname back in February, I am going to have to
revisit some ALAP code to *remove* the assumed connection between
gethostname and gethostbyname. Seems that the choice of routine names
here easily leads to that conflation.
Secondly, I hope that code chunk is not really from Quark code: as
hstruct has the potential to be NULL, so inaddr can be left undefined,
and yet is used outside the test on hstruct.

Below is the code chunk:
******************************************************
hostent *hstruct;
in_addr *inaddr;
err = gethostname(name,255);
hstruct = gethostbyname(name);
if(hstruct){
inaddr = (in_addr *) hstruct->h_addr;
}
strcpy(address, (const char *) inet_ntoa(*inaddr));
******************************************************
Runs fine on Panther Client (10.3.3) and not on Panther Server
(10.3.3). Am
I doing some OS specific thing?
Thanks in advance.
