Re: [Nagios-devel] Patch to use a database as the history log
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2002 9:19 am
I applied you patch today, and I had to make some changes to get it
built.
After your patch is applied, you will need to apply some {} near line
484 in common/downtime.c.
strlcpy isn't in glibc. From I remember, its a bsd thing..
netbsd,openbsd,freebsd maybe? I've went through and changed th strlcpy
to strncpy, and everything appears to be happy.
I didn't see logconv.py anywhere
