I had hoped, that an RTM_IFINFO message would be created on the routing socket, but this is not the case. If an interface is destroyed, the routing socket gets a message for whatever reason. Wouldn't it be simple to just create an RTM_IFINFO message? harti -- harti brandt, http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/cats/employees/hartmut.brandt/private brandt@fokus.fhg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
