You are trying to call a libc function from within the kernel. In general, you can not use /usr/include headers in kernel code, only /usr/include/sys headers. This is because the kernel is not linked againsts libc. Mostly, you should not be dealing with strings in the kernel; if you are adding a kernel entry point to be called from user space, you should convert the address into a sockaddr_in before you pass it into the kernel, instead. -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
