    Test Suite VSW version 4.1.1
    Test Identification XPROTO/chnghsts 1
    Problem Summary TSD4W.00100 Test fails because it is not sending correct request.
    Problem Text
    The routine tester() inside the file tset/XPROTO/chnghsts/chnghsts.m
    sends an incomplete request to remove an host from the
    access control list.
    In particular, it doesn't fill the field hostFamily in the request
    message sent to the server.
    The fail happens because the test suite, when trying to delete an host
    belonging to the Uname family, doesn't fill properly the field
    hostFamily, and the server receives a 0, which means Internet family.
    The server returns BadValue because the name is longer than four bytes.

    We believe that the following code:

    ==============================================================
    /* Delete/Insert host from/to access control list */

    Set_Test_Type(CLIENT, test_type);
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *) Make_Req(CLIENT, X_ChangeHosts);
    debug(3,"length of req = %d, req at 0x%lx\n",req->length,(unsigned long)req);
    if ((req->mode = mode) == HostDelete) {
    hp = (unsigned char *) ((unsigned char *) hosts_rep + sizeof (xListHostsReply));
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *)
    Add_Counted_Bytes (req, hp + 4, * (unsigned short *) (hp + 2));
    } else {
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *)
    Add_Counted_Bytes (req, host->address, host->length);
    req->hostFamily = host->family;
    }
    ==============================================================

    should be modified as follows:

    ==============================================================
    /* Delete/Insert host from/to access control list */

    Set_Test_Type(CLIENT, test_type);
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *) Make_Req(CLIENT, X_ChangeHosts);
    debug(3,"length of req = %d, req at 0x%lx\n",req->length,(unsigned long)req);
    if ((req->mode = mode) == HostDelete) {
    hp = (unsigned char *) ((unsigned char *) hosts_rep + sizeof (xListHostsReply));
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *)
    Add_Counted_Bytes (req, hp + 4, * (unsigned short *) (hp + 2));
    req->hostFamily=(* (unsigned char *) (hp));
    } else {
    req = (xChangeHostsReq *)
    Add_Counted_Bytes (req, host->address, host->length);
    req->hostFamily = host->family;
    }
    ==============================================================

    X/OPEN Window Management Verification Suite Release 4.1.1
    Test-Set Summary Test-Set Summary


    When a client sends a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to
    the X server, then the X server does not send back an error,
    event or reply to the client.

    Test Strategy:
    Call library function testfunc() to do the following:
    Open a connection to the X server using native byte sex.
    Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.
    Open a connection to the X server using reversed byte sex.
    Send a valid ChangeHosts protocol request to the X server.
    Verify that the X server does not send back an error, event or reply.

    Test Information:
    Expect: wanted NOTHING, got ERROR - BadValue
    Test ChangeHosts failed with 1 error.
