Dec 3: Bug in getUser()

A student has just uncovered a bug in getUser(). There should be an fclose(ut) before each of the return statements. This will not affect your code in any way. The problem that can occur is a "Too many open files message."

Nov 27: getUser

You can take out the print statements from this function. They are simply leftover debugging statements. I've changed the file that is posted to comment out the print statements, and removed the unused variable "stp".

Nov 27: Host file

The host file you create should have one machine name per line. It should not have the same format as /etc/hosts. It doesn't matter whether the machine name is fully specified, as long as it is on the same network. This means that "penguin" and "penguin.cdf" and "penguin.cdf.utoronto.ca" are all acceptable names for the same machine. For example:

b375-01
b395-02
b210-03
