Linux code uses netlink sockets. That's not supported by Darwin. Going by memory the current code just skips nw monitoring for Darwin. So it runs, it just does nothing if you lose or gain nw connection. To support Darwin you need some apple wierdness - it's maddeningly difficult to find out just what on the web. OpenOCF does it one way, but you could presumably find other ways (e.g. kernel stuff, ... ) Hth G > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
