Hi Dongsu,sorry, there has been an another bug in my patch 151. I resolved it and committed as patch-152. Try to test it with '--disable-privsep'. I'm sure you'll get no problem any more.Will give it a try on Friday, thank you very much for your efforts! Could you find an explanation for the bug? If it would be helpfull, I could give you logins to my VBoxes for debugging this stuff.
Hi Wolfram,Actually there was two reasons for this bug. One was the capability issue, which you can avoid by --disable-privsep. The another was my fault in my patch 151.
In my patch, I wanted to add a new action 'handover' for hipconf command and tried to add definitions and modify existing data structures, but it was not sufficient. I should have defined TYPE_HANDOVER with the right value in libinet6/hipconf.h. So it broke the consistency not only for hipconf but also for hipd, because hipd automatically loads its own configurations from /etc/hip/hipd_config and set them with hipconf.
Unfortunately I didn't know what I should do exactly for adding a new hipconf action, because no document told me about that. The only document for hipl developers is doc/HACKING, but no such contents were in it. That's actually why we do the same mistake. So yesterday in doc/HACKING I added a section 'Adding hipconf actions and parameters' and suggested a guideline for that. It's currently available only for userspace branch.
Cheers, Dongsu
