net_mask 255.255.255.255

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



What is the reason for the lines 2362 & 2363 in sys-linux.c?  Why not
just accept the netmask option from the peer config?


/*
 *  Set the netmask.
 *  For recent kernels, force the netmask to 255.255.255.255.
 */
    if (kernel_version >= KVERSION(2,1,16))
	net_mask = ~0L;
