So for the sake of the archive, the feature removed here is
- if resolving the --remote hostname on a TCP server(!) does not work,
remember the hostname, and on TCP accept(), try re-resolving it again,
and then verify that the IPs returned by getaddrinfo() match where the
connect is coming from
since it was broken for a long time and nobody cared, this was obviously
obscure enough that "remove it, simplify the code fairly big time" is a
good plan. Thanks Arne for the review, and I second that this is a good
idea ;-) - mildly tested on a TCP server (which does not use --remote
today).
Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
