After a couple years playing with FreeBSD, having written simple programs, network programs, shared libraries, etc, I figured it was time I tackle my greatest fear: a kernel feature. Since I have need of socketpair(2) supporting PF_INET, it seemed like a logical place to try this out. So I went through the code (as near as I understood it) and got it to find and execute a function called tcp_usr_connect2...this then calls tcp_connect2 (following the "standard"). So my kernel compiles and boots, but when I make a call to socketpair() with PF_INET, it freaks out, displays some debugging information, and reboots. It isn't pretty, to say the least. So the kernel has defeated me. My question is, how can I find out what is going wrong inside there? What should I have and do when I try to modify the kernel? Any suggestions from any other novice kernel hackers out there? Thanks, Jamie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
