This requires, that read() and write() should work on these sockets. When using write(), the error code EDESTADDRREQ is returned. An inspection of the libnetgraph code shows, that connect() is called on the data socket. That means the kernel should know the destination. There are only two places in /sys/kern and /sys/netgraph where the EDESTADDRREQ is retured: in the generic sosend() and in ng_socket. A further inspection shows, that the error in this case is returned by the generic layer, because it thinks, that the socket is not connected. >How-To-Repeat: Create a socket node and connected it to ONE arbitrary netgraph hook, that accepts data. Use write(2) to write to the data socket. Observe the returned error code. >Fix: ng_connect_data should set the SS_CONNECTED flag on the socket. Either by calling soisconnected() or by directly setting the flag. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
