Let me explain the problem.
For our system we use our special mechanism to save IP addresses and retrieve it in the libguestinfo plugin(by replacing GuestInfo_GetNicInfo() function to our function). It works in some cases, but we see some strange thing when it does not work. So, I'm started my investigation and walk through the open-vmtools code. I've download fresh tarball(8.6), compile it without dnet, without kernel modules, without x and some other features. I'm using regular ubuntu for testing this binaries and see that IP can be shown without using dnet or some other mechanism. It's very strange. GuestInfoGetNicInfo() has #ifndef NO_DNET and I don't use dnet. So, this function does not work. And my question is how it works if we don't have dnet and special kernel modules? -- Stas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
