I've couple of questions about broadcasts on sunos 4.0(.1):
1) What should I do to send a broadcast message (udp, guess it's not possible
with tcp..)? Just use a broadcast address (something like x.x.x.255) in
structure sockaddr_in and use recvfrom and sendto calls to send/receive data?
Well, if this is the way it should work then:
2) Does it require root privs? (I remeber that I read from somewhere that
'older' (= bsd 4.2) systems require root privs?
3) When all else fails.. does someone have a short example that uses
broadcasts?
