- Help, we are developing some code for large network information gathering.
- (such as how many users logged in, processes running, mounted volumes etc...)
-
- I am writing the network interface.
- Currently I have code that broadcasts a UDP packet, and
- recieves responses from the daemons that are running on the network.
-
- Problem is, that under HP-UX 8.00 on a series 9000 machine (345's and 425T's)
-
- The daemon reacts as if it recieves two (2), sometimes three (3) or 4
- udp broadcasts.
- It then goes about it's merry way replying to all 2 to 4 packets.
-
- While I could just ignore multiple broadcasts from a single machine, I
- feel that this is not the proper way to do things.
-
- The code compiles and works correctly under SUN OS 4.1.1, and hpux 8.07
- (the risc machines)
-
- Is there something different about hpux 8.00 that is not in the manuals???
-
- Please don't tell me I have to put a kludge in my code because.
-
- HHEEEELLLLPPPPPPPP ( I'm beating my head on the wall on this one )
-
- ANY suggestions, and or advice would be greatly apreciated.
-
- Heck, If you would like to look at the code I would be more than
- glad to send it to you :-)
-
- Thanks.
