>Environment:
Alpha, OSF 5.1
>Description:
The host access file (gnatsd.host_access in Gnats 4) allows hosts to be specified by name or IP address.

However, on Alpha machines (at least) host names cannot be used because of a bug in getname() in gnatsd.c:

hp = gethostbyaddr ((char *) host, sizeof (host), AF_INET);

should be

hp = gethostbyaddr ((char *) host, sizeof (*host), AF_INET);
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
See description.
