Description Geoff Reedy 1999-09-07 18:13:27 UTC
I tried this before, but it seems to have gotten lost...

lpd attempts to create a null file, because a mktemp(3) call
fails since a memcpy apparently leaves the string without
six X charaters at the end of the string.  In this situation
mktemp(3) returns a NULL string.  I have a patch, but
bugzilla says I should refer a bug number.

*** Bug 4949 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

lpd does not spool remote requests properly, because it is
trying to create a temprorary file, but fails.  Upon further
inspection, it is because of a mktemp(3) call returning
NULL, and then an attempt to create a file with this name.
This, of course, fails and the print job is not spooled
correctly, causing it not to print.  I have a patch, but
bugzilla wants there to be a bug report before submiting a
patch.

Can you please attach your patch now?This has already been fixed in the latest lpd in Raw Hide.
