The following reply was made to PR bin/36955; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Yar Tikhiy <yar@freebsd.org> To: Maxim Konovalov <maxim@macomnet.ru> Cc: bug-followup@freebsd.org, Eugene Grosbein <eugen@svzserv.kemerovo.su> Subject: Re: bin/36955: Stock ftpd does not reuse ports in passive mode and fails Date: Sun, 21 Jul 2002 16:59:45 +0400 Setting SO_REUSEADDR on a listening socket is always a good idea. Plese refer to the following URL for a detailed explanation: http://www.kohala.com/start/torek.94dec31.txt BTW, I'd omit casting the "&on" parameter to setsockopt(2) to "char *" since now setsockopt(2) expects "void *" there. In general, all that pointer casting in our ftpd is a real mess. As a matter of fact, a pointer (or 0 as the null pointer) needs to be casted to a certain type only when passing it to a function without a prototype. And casting such a pointer to a wrong type is a really bad thing to do. -- Yar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
