argus-3.0.3.12 on the developer site

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Michael,

Got a fix for the hp->ai_protocol switch problem.  Rather than let the value be zero, I explicitly set it now.
How are specifying IN_ADDR_ANY?  Just using the default behavior does it fail?

Knowing that I want TCP sockets, I put in a 'case 0:' before the 'case IPPROTO_TCP:' and it now binds and gets into the LISTEN state.  That probably won't work for a bind to a UDP sockets, so the test might need to be against hp->ai_socktype for SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM.  The remote connection from an 'ra' works in the case of a bind to a specific IP address via argus.conf, but fails in the case of a bind to IN_ADDR_ANY.  System logs (hostnames sanitized) show:
