Hi,

A clear comment line explaining the hack may help here...

Thanx,

Stig,
Well that white space was there on purpose...

{ 15, "Read Class Definition " },	

It is there because the packet-ncp2222.inc when it processes the NDS verb echos the string value to the summary window. Then as part of the same dissection process it echos the value of the name of the entry ID that is included in the packet to the summary window. Note the packet doesn't hold this value but it a memory table to allow the dissector to lookup the EID (entry ID included in the packet) and find the associated name. This name is then echoed to the summary window as well. With the white space the summary window would be something like.
C Read Class Definition -> Object user1.novell
Without the white space the summary window would be something like.
C Read Class Definition-> Object user1.novell
I added this on purpose to make the summary window consistent with the display of the other NDS verbs. I know this is a hack but someone has done white space cleanup in the past on this and I have had to go back and change several times. I am sure that some of the other white space cleanup has caused some of the other verbs to display the summary in a similar manner but I just haven't ran across a packet trace that shows it.. I try to cleanup and fix these when I find them. Greg

Remove a space, which I think was accidentally added in r26012.
