Hi,
today is the day... :-)
tun.c, do_ifconfig() contains this beauty...
--------------------------------------------------------
#elif defined(TARGET_DARWIN)
/*
* Darwin (i.e. Mac OS X) seems to exhibit similar behaviour to OpenBSD...
*/
argv_printf (&argv,
"%s %s delete",
IFCONFIG_PATH,
actual);
argv_msg (M_INFO, &argv);
openvpn_execve_check (&argv, es, 0, NULL);
msg (M_INFO, "NOTE: Tried to delete pre-existing tun/tap instance -- No Pr
oblem if failure");
--------------------------------------------------------
... which doesn't work on 10.5 (at least), because there is no
"ifconfig ... delete" command - to get rid of an interface, you need
to call "ifconfig ... destroy".
So all this would do is configure the tun interface to the IP address
of a host named "delete", if such a host exists...
Sun Feb 28 17:22:03 2010 us=91225 /sbin/ifconfig tun0 delete
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
At least on 10.5, this code is not needed at all, because the tun0 interface
is auto-destroyed after closing it, so it's just superfluous and broken
code.
What I cannot test is: is it required on 10.4, 10.3, ...? If yes, which
versions of MacOS X need it, and should we add a "configure" test for it?
(I'm afraid this needs going back in the svn logs who did the MacOS X port
and check with him...)
