Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_4)
lib/libc/rpc get_myaddress.c
Log:
Don't treat 0.0.0.0 as a valid candidate when trying to determine
"the" IP address of the system. Interfaces which have not been
configured yet are given address 0.0.0.0 by dhclient. Without this
fix, I ran into a situation in which amd failed and logged messages
like:
amd[261]: ignoring request from 127.0.0.1:993, expected 0.0.0.0
This was on a system with two network interfaces, both set up to
be configured by DHCP, in which only the second interface was
connected. The bug fooled amd into thinking its IP address was
0.0.0.0, and it didn't like requests coming from anywhere else.
Neither this bug nor this source file exist in -current, so I am
committing the fix directly to the RELENG_4 branch.
