interfaces we encounter. In Linux, all addresses are returned for which gifconf handlers are installed. This boils down to AF_DECnet and AF_INET. We care mostly about AF_INET for now. Adding additional families is simple enough. Returning the addresses is important for RPC clients to function properly. Andrew found in some reference code that the logic that handles the retransmission looks for an interface that's up and has an AF_INET address. This obviously failed as we didn't return any addresses at all. Note also that with this change we don't return interfaces that don't have AF_INET addresses, whereas before we returned any interface present in the system. This is in line with what Linux does (modulo interfaces with only AF_DECnet addresses of course :-) Reported by: "Andrew Atrens" <atrens@nortelnetworks.com> MFC after: 1 week |
