| Subject: | error on gethostbyname is tested on errno instead of h_errno |
The symptom is that kdb5_util create -s terminate without error (just oddly
indicating that gethostbyname was sucessfull, which would not normally alarm a user)
but none of the 'default' principals, like kadmin/admin or kadim/chagepw are
created....
this is usually detected, either if one do a control listprincs just after
creation, or more likely when one try to create a keytab for these
administrative principals.
This can be quite frustrating, and an error message would be a nice things to do.
since herror() is marked (obsolete) on my man pages, I did not use it and merely
printed the error value.
