The problem here, as far as I can tell *must* be the recent upgrade of libalias to version 1.5 (cmott & eivind cc'd). dev:/usr/src/lib/libalias $ fgrep -w err *.c alias_db.c: int err; alias_db.c: err = bind(sock, alias_db.c: if (err == 0) alias_db.c:#include alias_db.c: err(1, "alias punch inbound(1) setsockopt(IP_FW_ADD)"); alias_db.c: err(1, "alias punch inbound(2) setsockopt(IP_FW_ADD)"); I'll leave it up to Eivind & Charles to sort this out. FWIW, IMO library routines should never use such high level routines. Ppp doesn't use descriptor 2 for stderr, so the above messages are probably going to find there way to some very uninteresting place. [.....] > -- > William T.
