(1) Apologies if this is the wrong news group.
(2) Has any one got NIS mail.aliase to work with sendmail on a SUN
We run 4.1.1. I've not had the opportunity to test this on a
SUN 4. and our NIS server is a DECstation.
We have an old legal copy of the sendmail sources (SUNos 4.0.3
I think) and line 306 of alias.c looks wrong as

insize = strlen(a->q_user)+1;

If I remove the +1 then the sendmail produced works on my SUN 3/50
with a DECstation master for mail.aliases. We do not want to
continue with an old version. Is this simply a SUN bug I've found
or am I misunderstanding something

Thanks for any help.
