Anyone using SCO 3.2v4.2 with Samba 1.9.18p3??

[Kevin W. Reed]

SCO Unix 3.2v4.2
Samba 1.9.18p3

Problem with I_STR/SIOCGIFCONF

I haven't a clue what is wrong here...

We compiled samba 1.9.18p3 using GCC and everything is working pretty
much okay.  However, when we start the nmbd server we get an error
message:

This SCO platform has all the relevent patches installed (that I know about)
but apparently there is a problem with this type of call or it is formatted
incorrectly.

Looking at the source code, it looks like:

[interfaces.c]

  ifc.ifc_len = sizeof(buff);
  ifc.ifc_buf = buff;
  if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc) < 0) {
    DEBUG(0,("SIOCGIFCONF: %s\n", strerror(errno)));
  } else {
    ifr = ifc.ifc_req;
  
    /* Loop through interfaces, looking for given IP address */
    for (i = ifc.ifc_len / sizeof(struct ifreq); --i >= 0; ifr++) {
#ifdef BSDI
      if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFADDR, ifr) < 0) break;
#endif
      if (if_ipaddr->s_addr ==
      (*(struct sockaddr_in *) &ifr->ifr_addr).sin_addr.s_addr) {
    found = True;
    break;
      }
    }

My guess is that it isn't being passed the correct information... There
is an SCO5 section in the source file too, but this is not an SCO5 platform.

If you are using SCO 3.2v4.2 with this version of Samba, please let me
know how you got around this.... Thanks...
