Subject: Re: New Netscape bug (in version 1.12) Isn't there a resolver #define or something in limits.h called MAXHOSTNAMELEN ? Something like that? (Perhaps not, but that's what I recall..)

We are using MAXHOSTNAMELEN if it exists, both in 2.0, and in the security patch that we shipped. If it doesn't exist we just assume 64. As a quick sample, on sunos and irix it is 64, and on solaris it is 256. On sunos and irix it is defined in sys/param.h, and on solaris it is defined in netdb.h. I wasn't able to find any mention of it or any other limits on the host names passed in to gethostbyname() in the man pages on any of these systems. --Jeff Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
