>Description:

atalkd tries to ioctl(SIOCADDMULTI) all the interfaces it can find.
For reasons unknown to me, this call fails.

>How-To-Repeat:

Start atalkd and watch it fail with an "addmulti" error message.

>Fix:

The workaround I applied was to wrap the offending statement
in an '#ifndef __FreeBSD__'. It's not a proper fix, but it's
been working in our production environment since late December.

The offending statement is an "if (ifconfig(...,SIOCADDMULTI,..."
around line 1155 of etc/atalkd/main.c.

Hopefully someone can come up with a real fix.
