Description Harald Hoyer 2004-09-17 08:29:56 UTC

u_long is used in all the RPC headers

They should be defined correctly like here:
http://cvsup.pt.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/src/include/rpc/#dirlist

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2004-09-17 08:32:02 UTC

example patch:
http://cvsup.pt.freebsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/src/include/rpc/rpc_msg.h.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2004-09-24 07:12:04 UTC

We discussed this on IRC.
1) the headers can't change because of binary compatibility requirements
2) the structures in those headers are the host structures, which by
   no means have to reflect the layout that goes over the wire.
   tcpdump should use xdrmem* RPC accessors.
