>Description:
'routed -s' passes remote address of IFF_POINTOPOINT interface
into setsockopt(rip_sock,IPPROTO_IP, IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,&m, sizeof(m)),
see rip_mcast_on() in the src/sbin/routed/main.c
A kernel uses a macro INADDR_TO_IFP (see netinet/in_var.h)
to find an interface that is unable to find it using remote IP.
>How-To-Repeat:
run 'routed -s' when one on more PPP interfaces
(f.e. ppp(4), gif(4)) are up and running.
You will get error message one time for each of PPP interfaces:
setsockopt(IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP RIP): Can't assign requested address
>Fix:
Either change the macro INADDR_TO_IFP, or teach routed(8)
to pass source IP of the interface. I tried the latter,
it works for me.
