hi there :)

the code in util.c seems to have some bugs w/regard to compilation on
64-bit machines.  in this case, the hardware is an Alpha running redhat
4.2 with pam turned off in the makefile.

i get a whole series of errors, all of which say "passing arg 'n' of
'function' from incompatible pointer type.  in util.c, checked out of the
main branch the day before yesterday, errors are as follows:

in line			function 	arg
   368			getsockopt	5
  2096			recvfrom	6
  2545			recvfrom	6
  3757			getpeername	3
  3802			getpeername	3


i'm not a code grunt, and the old release (.17something) still works for
me here.....   (and yes, axproc is defined in the makefile  :)  )
but it still might be nice if someone wanted to look at this....   :)

it looks like the standard errors that people make with assumptions about
pointer size.....   :)

thank you (and hats off!) to the team.
