As I said, that failed with a > similar error for me. I´ll see if i can try. In the meantime i tried to find out why postfix fails: for the "postfix" port, it fails in postfix´ src/util/inet_addr_local.c and (thank Wietse Venema, it seems _all_ files have a builtin TEST case with a main() !!!) one can compile just this file with cc -o TEST -DTEST -DFREEBSD5 -I../../include -L../../lib inet_addr_local.c -lutil in that same subdirctory and get a program TEST which when executed exhibits the above described behaviour. The main thing this program does is to open a socket and then do a ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFCONF, (char *) &ifc) which does not fail, but seems that it somehow does not work as advertized anymore. Perhaps i can find out more later as i now have to tell my kids a goodnight story .... hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 55 97 47-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 55 97 47-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de D-22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
