nrpe-2.5 and solaris 2.6

[Gerhard Lausser]

Hi,

i just tried to compile the cvs version of nrpe on a solaris 2.6 machine.
Here is what i had to modify:

in include/common.h
#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN 46
extern  const   char *inet_ntop(int, const void *, char *, size_t);

in src/Makefile
SOCKETLIBS= -lnsl -lsocket -lresolv

This is needed by the DNS lookup code in the reintegrated is_an_allowed_host
subroutine. Solaris2.6 has no IPv6 support, so there is no such define of
INET6_ADDRSTRLEN. The function inet_ntop exists in Sol2.6, but it is hidden
in libresolv.so. That's why we need to add our own prototype and link with
libresolv.
I'm a bit busy, so i cannot deliver a patch (to configure.in i suggest)
before next week. So if someone is interested...

Greetings from Munich,
Gerhard
