[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#353585: sysvinit: Code problem at line 720 of last.c file

[Laurent Guignard]

Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.86.ds1-11
Severity: normal


I have looking for something in last.c file of sysvinit package 
(sysvinit-2.86) and I found this :

"
else if (strncmp(ut.ut_user, "runlevel", 7) == 0)
ut.ut_type = RUN_LVL;
"

at line 720 of file.

Is the number 7 normal ? 
"runlevel" has a size of 8 isn't it ?

I think the correct value is 8 here...

I have end this to "pkg-sysvinit-devel AT lists.alioth.debian.org" mailing list
