Hello everybody, I am new to FreeBSD kernel hacking, so please excuse my perhaps stupid questions.
I would like to add key support to gre(4). I have already been able to use gre(4) with a hardcoded key. The single thing remaining to do is to transfer the key from ifconfig(8). The key is an uint32_t and I haven't found a way to transfer it without modifying ifconfig(8). My question is, which is the "BSD-style" to achieve the above? Solutions I came up with are as follows: 1) Use SIOCSDRVSPEC / SIOCGDRVSPEC 2) Add SIOCSGREKEY / SIOCGGREKEY 3) [Probably to ugly to be mentioned, but requires fairy few modifications.] Add a sysctl MIB which is read when calling "ifconfig ... create". Another thing I wanted to ask is, which function of ifconfig(8) should I modify to display the GRE key? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
