[Aide] aide problems under HP-UX 10.20

[Fisher, Charles J.]

I don't know if this includes vsnprintf, but I have the final set of patches for 10.20 that were issued in 12/2001. These are General Release and Hardware Critical patches:

:/u03/build/aide-0.10:root> swlist | egrep 'GR|HWCR'
  XSW800GR1020                  B.10.20.55.3   General Release Patches for HP-UX 10.20 Servers (December 2001)
  XSW800HWCR1020                B.10.20.55.2   Hardware Enablement and Critical Patches for HP-UX 10.20 Servers (December 2001)


When I run configure, I see:

checking for vsnprintf... yes


In config.log, no news is good news, right?

Here is the output of my run of configure:

Thanks, now we are getting somewhere. The call in db_file.c at line 146 
is free(temp). temp is allocated this way:

   va_start(ap,s);
   retval=vsnprintf(buf,3,s,ap);
   va_end(ap);

   temp=(char*)malloc(retval+2);
   if(temp==NULL){

Since temp is not NULL it probably gets overwritten somewhere. From the 
HP site I gather that vsnprintf was added in HP-UX 10.30. Can you 
confirm that you have indeed a working vsnprintf() on your system? 
(Check the aide config.log file.)

Sincerely,
