Hello,
[ I'm new to freebsd. This seems like the most related mailing list.
If there is a better mailing list I should post to, please point me
in the right direction. ]
In preparation for writing an IPv6 multicast application I wrote a little
test program (shown below). This program worked on linux (RedHat), but
when I try it on a FreeBSD box (5.0, running zebra router and pim6dd)
sendto() fails with "Operation not supported" ... ???
To verify my app was OK, I installed a solaris box on the LAN beside the
linux box and the app compiled and worked fine.
Thinking it might be a bug in 5.0 or an interaction with zebra/pim6dd I
installed a FreeBSD 5.2 box on the lan beside the other 2 app boxes and
I get the same error again. Anyone know what is missing/wrong in my test app?
[ I'm guessing FreeBSD wants some extra socket options set, but I don't know
which ones. ]
Thanks,
Don
