I'm working with samba 1.9.15p8 (on Sunos...)
I want to close the accepting connections after the fork...
I noticed:
(in util.c)
3688
3689 bzero((char *)&sock,sizeof(sock));
3690 memcpy((char *)&sock.sin_addr,(char *)hp->h_addr, hp->h_length);
3691 #if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(NETBSD) /* XXX not the right ifdef *
3692 sock.sin_len = sizeof(sock);
3693 #endif
3694 sock.sin_port = htons( port );
3695 sock.sin_family = hp->h_addrtype;
3696 sock.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
3697
sock is sockaddr_in...
On sunos Its defined as:
struct sockaddr_in {
short sin_family;
u_short sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
char sin_zero[8];
};
what's going on? we pass the length in the call anyway..
On freebsd it looks like:
struct sockaddr_in {
u_char sin_len;
u_char sin_family;
u_short sin_port;
struct in_addr sin_addr;
char sin_zero[8];
};
