It will always be nl_pid of the socket. And don't forget that this pid and negative numbers stuff is valid only if application doesn't set nl_pid. It's completely legal for application to do that before calling bind() and if there's no conflict (no already open netlink socket with this nl_pid), everything is OK. -- Hasso Tepper - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
