SIOCADDMULTI and SIOCDELMULTI aren't implemented anywhere in Solaris. They're left over in <sys/sockio.h> from some ancient, long-forgotten merge (perhaps with BSD sources or from the original SunOS 4.x), and remain there as a way to trip up developers who read the header files rather than the man pages. ;-} They (along with lots of other old trash) should be hauled out. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
