>Synopsis: timed rejects valid networks with -n
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical

None
>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD-2.2.2 through FreeBSD-current
>Description:
When given -n followed by a network name or number, timed exits with
"timed: no network usable". This is due to the fact that
getnetbyname(3) returns a struct with network numbers in host byte
order, rather than network byte order. This is correct behavior for
getnetbyname(3) according to its man page.
>How-To-Repeat:
timed -n <network>
where <network> is a valid, directly-connected network address.
