It looks like net processing is broken in rc.37 (and perhaps earlier):
vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- host 142.58.71.254
19:23:38.120125 v ospf 142.58.71.254 -> 224.0.0.5 1 0 82 0 INT
19:23:48.121093 v ospf 142.58.71.254 -> 224.0.0.5 1 0 82 0 INT
19:23:50.489799 v udp 142.58.71.254.67 -> 255.255.255.255.68 1 0 346 0 INT
vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- net 142.58.71
19:23:32.888749 v udp 0.0.0.0.68 -> 255.255.255.255.67 3 0 1256 0 INT
19:23:40.284113 v udp 0.0.0.0.68 -> 255.255.255.255.67 1 0 455 0 INT
19:23:46.767463 v udp 0.0.0.0.68 -> 255.255.255.255.67 7 0 2662 0 INT
instead of matching the net it seems to be selecting DHCP broadcasts
which doesn't seem right. As well mask no longer seems to work (although both
may be because of V6 support I suppose)
vanepp at sniffer1:/spare> ra -r bb_argus -n -- net 142.58.71 mask 255.255.255.0
ra[3384]: 19:58:21.274215 net 142.58.71 mask 255.255.255.0 filter syntax error
As well there is a mislabeling and two typos (date instead of data) in
the ra man page:
*** man/man1/ra.1.orig 2007-01-11 19:43:33.000000000 -0800
--- man/man1/ra.1 2007-01-11 19:46:01.000000000 -0800
