hi,
investigating why 1.3.36 just dies when named is started (exactely, when
named tries to bind to 0.0.0.0 -- the binds for the configured interfaces
return OK), I found the following in af_inet.c (approx. line 225):
/*
* add the socket to the sock_array[]..
*/
skp = sk->prot->sock_array + num;
cli();
while ((tmp = *skp) != NULL) {
if (!(tmp->rcv_saddr & mask))
break;
}
sk->next = tmp;
*skp = sk;
sti();
the only thing I'm sure of is that I don't understand the purpose of the
code, but probably something like
tmp=*skp;
while (tmp != NULL) {
if (!(tmp->rcv_saddr & mask))
break;
tmp = tmp->next;
}
is meant? gonna recompile my kernel now and see...
ciao,
cm.
