AIDE + Solaris 10

blancs · 04-19-2005, 02:20 PM

Has anyone been able to install aide on solaris 10, I error out with

checking for vsnprintf... no
configure: error: Must have a system that supports vsnprintf.
knox#

Can anyone make suggestions to what other software I could use that would support server client integrity checking, and or other security related software in general. Thanks.

I don't know about aide and what exactly it is doing but anyway configure shouldn't fail as Solaris is supporting vsnprintf .

I'm not telling it doesn't fail, I'm saying it shouldn't !

And your path has nothing to do with it, vsnprintf is a library function, not a command.

Code:

$ uname -a
SunOS cassis 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc
$ man vsnprintf

Standard C Library Functions                          vprintf(3C)



NAME
     vprintf, vfprintf, vsprintf,  vsnprintf  -  print  formatted
     output of a variable argument list

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <stdarg.h>

     int vprintf(const char *format, va_list ap);

     int vfprintf(FILE *stream, const char *format, va_list ap);

     int vsprintf(char *s, const char *format, va_list ap);

     int vsnprintf(char *s, size_t n, const char *format, va_list
     ap);

DESCRIPTION
     The vprintf(), vfprintf(), vsprintf() and vsnprintf()  func-
     tions  are  the  same as printf(), fprintf(), sprintf(), and
     snprintf(),  respectively,  except  that  instead  of  being
     called  with a variable number of arguments, they are called
     with an argument list as defined in the  <stdarg.h>  header.
     See printf(3C).

If there's a bug in the AIDE configure script as it looks like, there's nothing Solaris can do.
