 |
|
I am using gentoo 1.4 with kernel 2.6.0. After emerging bind and doing rc-update add named default I get the following message when using dmesg:
process `named' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT
Does anyone know how to fix this? named isnt working as I want either |

so the only solution is really to edit bind's source? if its obsolete, why is it still in the code? do you think it will be removed in a later version so I dont have to get this message?
*cant stop getting annoyed by warnings and such* |

Let me try and explain this a bit.
The SO_BSDCOMPAT define is obsolete in 2.6 kernels.
I am not sure exactly what it was used for in 2.4 kernels, but we do not need it now.
However a lot of programs still use this define and until they stop using it we will still get this message, though it does no harm that I can see.
With bind you can comment out the references to the define in the source.
You can find it in lib/isc/unix/socket.c
there are two sections that need removing:
| Code: | #if defined(USE_CMSG) || defined(SO_BSDCOMPAT)
int on = 1;
#endif |
should become:
| Code: | #if defined(USE_CMSG)
int on = 1;
#endif |
And comment out this whole section:
| Code: | #ifdef SO_BSDCOMPAT
if (setsockopt(sock->fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_BSDCOMPAT,
(void *)&on, sizeof(on)) < 0) {
isc__strerror(errno, strbuf, sizeof(strbuf));
UNEXPECTED_ERROR(__FILE__, __LINE__,
"setsockopt(%d, SO_BSDCOMPAT) %s: %s",
sock->fd,
isc_msgcat_get(isc_msgcat, ISC_MSGSET_GENERAL,
ISC_MSG_FAILED, "failed"),
strbuf);
/* Press on... */
}
#endif |
With programs other than bind the same approach should work, you will just need to find the right places in the source.
If you are not happy editing the source of your programs then you will just have to wait for the software developers to fix it for you or for a gentoo patch. |
