inet_addr(127.1) = 7f000001
inet_addr() and family returns network order, while inet_network() returns
host order.
The old mountd code went to a lot of trouble to keep the two seperate.
In host context, it would have interpreted it as 192.168.0.5, but in network
/ netmask context it intentionally interpreted it as 192.168.5.0/mask.
See the old get_host() vs get_net() code.
Now that I have looked more closely, IMHO the new code is broken. :-(
Cheers,
