After upgrading to BSD/OS 4.0, I found that most of the NOCOL perl modules
suddenly stopped working. After some poking around I "discovered" the
reason, the argument for the connect() system call has changed and the
perl arguments have to be changed appropriately.
In particular the sockaddr structure has changed from:
struct sockaddr {
u_short sa_fam;
u_char sa_data[14];
};
to:
struct sockaddr {
u_char sa_len;
u_char sa_fam;
u_char sa_data[14];
};
The equivalent change for perl is to change the pack statement from:
$paddr = pack('S n a4 x8', $af, $port, $haddr);
to:
$paddr = pack('C C n a4 x8', 16, $af, $port, $haddr);
These changes needed to be made in: rcisco, nocollib.pl and hostmon-osclient.
Now comes the problem of getting these changes back into the standard
distibution without breaking other things.
