Hello Niels, OK. Understood.
I think the "configure" does not test if IP_RECVDSTADDR is present and usable. This means for hpux, the IP_RECVDSTADDR is enabled due to its definition in /usr/include/sys/socket.h but nothing enables the rest of the code to use this particular format. As i said before it seems this part of code only gives three possibilities : - the use of recvmsg() and sendmsg() with the socket option IP_RECVDSTADDR, - the use of recvmsg() and sendmsg() on linux with the socket option IP_PKTINFO, - for the others the use of recvfrom() and sendto() without any option. The normal path for HPUX would be to chose the third one but IP_RECVDSTADDR is defined and not tested. This specific socket option make the recvfrom() to give the destination address of the just received packet instead of the source address as defaults dictate. This specific error make the next sendto() to use a wrong address : it should the distant address but as long as the IP_RECVDSTADDR is active, this is the local address. In summary, as long as this option is active, the snmpd is replying to itself. is there a way to change the behaviour of "configure" to make it add a line like "#undef IP_RECVDSTADDR" somewhere ? I am sorry, i don't know (yet) how is structured the configure script.
