(This may not be the right place to send corrections - but it wasn't
obvious what would be better.)
send/sendto/sendmsg can return EACCES, and this is not documented. See
the following code segment from sys/netinet/ip_output.c:
if ((flags & IP_ALLOWBROADCAST) == 0) {
error = EACCES;
goto bad;
}
Here is a proposed context diff for 3.0-970114-SNAP/src/lib/libc/sys.
Please note that I haven't checked whether this applies to other than
IP.
