Before reading here about all the difficulties folks're | having w/perl 4.0 on Ultrix 4.1, I made it out'a the box for our DEC 5810, | Ultrix 4.1 and it passed all tests. I used gid_t * for the getgroups type (& | wondered if it was right), and cc -g (I don't trust that compiler). Everything | else was vanilla -- no edits, no patches, no nothin'. The 'getgroups' problem only shows if you are a member of more than one group. I'm talking about Ultrix 4.0, it might be fixed in Ultrix 4.1. Since you do not trust the compiler, you can hardly say "Ignorance is bliss" :-) .
