Hello. I am working on a app which is in fact a sensor who get packets and treats them according to a security policy . Here is one of my functions: /*------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name : netLogUdpDatagramme : logs the UDP datagrams Syntaxe : long netLogUdpDatagramme( struct udphdr *udp_hdr, struct ctx_t *ctx, char *errmsg) Description : Input : udp_hdr = pointer on udp packet ctx = pointer on communication context Output : errmsg = pointer on error message Return : 0 = OK -1 = PB unknwown status ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #undef FUNCT #define FUNCT "netLogUdpDatagramme()" long netLogUdpDatagramme (struct msg_syslog msglog, struct udphdr *udp_hdr, struct ctx_t *ctx, char *errmsg) { struct in_addr ip_src, ip_dst; struct hostent *sd_id = NULL; char srcipname[255] = "", dstipname[255] = ""; char srcname[255] = "", dstname[255] = ""; char buff[255] = ""; ip_src.s_addr = ctx->ip_src; printf("it's gonna break down\n"); /*I GET A SEG FAULT HERE*/sd_id = gethostbyaddr ((char *) &ip_src.s_addr, sizeof (ip_src.s_addr),AF_INET); strncpy (srcipname, inet_ntoa (ip_src), 250); if (sd_id) strncpy (srcname, sd_id->h_name, 250); else strncpy (srcname, srcipname, 250); ip_dst.s_addr = ctx->ip_dst; /*HERE TOO*/ sd_id = gethostbyaddr ((char *) &ip_dst.s_addr, sizeof (ip_dst.s_addr),AF_INET); strncpy (dstipname, inet_ntoa (ip_dst), 250); if (sd_id) strncpy (dstname, sd_id->h_name, 250); else strncpy (dstname, dstipname, 250); if (netUdpMessageDecode (ntohs (udp_hdr->source), buff) < 0) { if (netUdpMessageDecode (ntohs (udp_hdr->dest), buff) < 0) sprintf (buff, "Unknown UDP service %d %d", ntohs (udp_hdr->source), ntohs (udp_hdr->dest)); } if (SyslogMode == 1) Notify (msglog, ctx); return (0); } I get a segmentation fault at the gethostbyaddr calls. The signature of this fonction is ok, respected, types too. i'm under redhat 8.0, kernel 2.4.18-14 i don't understand. can someone help me :) ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
