We've never gotten a complaint.... Mike S.? Is the "sendto()" just there because libnet doesn't bind the socket?

Mike S.? Does the libnet code work on SunOS 4.x? I'm not sure a "sendto()" would work on a STREAMS NIT descriptor in 4.x. In FreeBSD 3.4, it only works on sockets; if that's the way it's been in BSD for a while, that might be how it was in 4.x - I don't remember support for it being added for non-socket descriptors in 4.0. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
