Hello list,
I was updating one of my Perl module (Net::Libdnet), and came accross a bug under FreeBSD 9.0-RC1 and libdnet.
My setup is one interface configured with multiple aliases. See details at the end of the message.
One host works ok (FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE), and another fails to find correct IP information (FreeBSD 9.0-RC1).
The main bug is that under 9.0-RC1, libdnet fails to find the correct inet address for the interface. It gets the first alias instead. I don't know if the bug comes from libdnet or 9.0-RC1, so I let knowledgeable people here to look at it (or not).
For those who want to test, you can install libdnet from /usr/ports/net/libdnet.
