AW: nrpe-2.5 and solaris 2.6

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi Ethan,

i had a closer look at it, so i will answer myself...

The problem is the IPv6 support. What was a good intention prevents a
successful compilation of the is_an_allowed_host function. INET6_ADDRSTRLEN
and inet_ntop are not available in elder operating systems. (I do not say
deprecated, because you still find Solaris2.6 machines everywhere).
The IPv6-awareness also is a bit ahead, as throughout of nrpe.c inet_ntoa is
used.
So i made a patch which makes the DNS lookup in is_an_allowed_host IPv4-only
again.

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard
