1003.1g isnt what matters - SuS is.

The compatibility test is broken from a pedantic point of view as your IP address can change dynamically between the query for it and the bind.
In general though, bind() is assumed to do the checks and fail if non local and I agree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
