Sorry for not correctly answering it last night. No, that's not it. According to SUSv2: The <sys/socket.h> header defines the unsigned integral type sa_family_t. So there will be a typedef unsigned int sa_family_t; and not of u_char. Wrt socklen_t, the spec wants it to be at least 32 bits in size, so I could choose it to be u_int32_t or unsigned int, I am still somewhat in doubt what to prefer. For now I settled on POSIX compliant types. See http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai/socket.patch since it grew a bit in size and didn't feel like spamming the list with it. The coming extensions to this patch will include updates manual pages and more clearifications and consistency clean-ups. Thanks for testing. Please let me know if something borks, I made world and kernel a few times and it works here, but I can't test everything. ssh and NFS still work here. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best Learn e-mail netiquette: http://www.lemis.com/email.html Once sent from the Golden Hall...
