[Spread-users] max length of char* inputs to SP_connect?

[Jonathan Stanton]

You are correct about private_name and private_group.

spread_name has really depended on the length of a host name, so I have changed the 
library code to define the size of spread_name explictly in terms of  
MAXHOSTNAMELEN. This change will be in 3.17.4 and 4.0.

I did not place it in a header file as it is not something spread should change -- 
it depends on your systems host name size. 

Cheers,

Jonathan
