In fact, though, it doesn't, because inpcb_alloc sucks, and no one was willing to check in my proposed fix (see -current list archives). This will not help on FreeBSD, which assumes bound address ports are allocated out of the INADDR_ANY address (unbound) ports list. You have to do extra work. There are 3 "if" tests you have to work around; binding to a local IP before the connect only works around one of these. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
