Hi,

the struct sockaddr_in (netinet/in.h) of FreeBSD has the member sin_len, 
but other OS's don't have this structure-member. The sockaddr_in 
structure declared on many systems like this:
struct sockkaddr_in {
   short int sin_family;
   unsigned short int sin_port;
   struct in_addr sin_addr;
}

My question is do I realy need to fill this? Or is it there just for 
future use?

bye,
--
