After spending several hours web searching and sifting through minnie's bsd news archive I could'nt find any documentation of the actual changes. I'm trying to find out when BSD required an ip packet going through a raw socket to have the ip_len field set to host byte order rather than network byte order. Basically I'm trying to find out when this bug occured and what systems are affected. Does anyone know when this came into affect? -- Thamer Al-Herbish shadows@whitefang.com shadows@kuwait.net
