I'm running into a problem using gmetric. I am trying to push the RedHat release into my metric data, but am getting the following error:

    gmond could not connect to multicast channel: Bad address

Here's a patch (ooo, this was a toughie :) )

I'm still trying to figure out what is going on with this, but just as an FYI I found a cosmetic bug in gmetric. The error above should say "gmetric could not connect...", not gmond. Also, it's not necessarily a RedHat 7.2 issue, I have one 7.2 machine where gmetric works fine. (struct in_addr *)&(entry->intf_addr.addr_ip), args_info.mcast_ttl_arg); (struct in_addr *)&(entry->intf_addr.addr_ip), args_info.mcast_ttl_arg);
