Hmmmmm, you are correct. I was sure that you were nuts, but on -current the following program returns no error at all... Telnet shows the same behavior. This is clearly wrong. #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <err.h> int main(void) { int fd; struct in_addr addr; struct sockaddr_in sa; int flags; fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); inet_aton("1.2.3.4", &addr); sa.sin_len = sizeof(sa); sa.sin_family = AF_INET; sa.sin_port = htons(1234); memcpy(&sa.sin_addr, &addr, sizeof(addr)); if (connect(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa))) err(1, "connect"); exit(0); } _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
