Pretty clear, I should think: IF the source address is a loopback address OR the destination address is a loopback address THEN IF the interface does not have the IFF_LOOBACK flag return EADDRNOTAVAIL ...pretty clearly, the new loopback interface doe not set the flag IFF_LOOPBACK on the interface, as it is supposed to do. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
