Ok - I'll see what the reaction here is first and then check with re@ before considering committing it. >Have any patches been made to allow >bind to use this feature yet? Bind as in named? No, I haven't looked into this, but it would be a very good candidate, as I think it would remove the issue of having to bind to new IP addresses while running as an unpriviledged user. The other thing that could be done here for improved compatibility is to implement the Linux IP_PKTINFO socket option and control message. Doing this should be fairly trivial once the IP_SENDSRCADDR code is in place. Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
