Solaris 2.5.1 TCP/IP faces Solaris2.6 TCP/IP

Solaris 2.5.1 TCP/IP faces Solaris2.6 TCP/IP

Post by eyal havi » Wed, 03 Jan 2001 23:45:22



Hi,All.

I need an advice on the following:
I'm porting a tcp/ip client server application from Solaris2.5.1 to
Solaris2.6
On Solaris2.6 I'm getting different sockets behavior than on
Solaris2.5.1 , For example
accept function failed, or connection refused.

As there any change in the TCP/IP layer between those two operating
systems ?

Any help/suggestions will be appreciate
Eyal.

Solaris 2.5.1 TCP/IP faces Solaris2.6 TCP/IP

We've ported a number of applications between 2.5.1 and 2.6 and had no
portability problem after recompling our applications.

It sounds like you have a "new" problem that didn't occur under 2.5.1, look to
the errno value for more information to why its failing. It maybe obvious.

There shouldn't be. Although the underlying socket implementation
changed in the operating system (moved into the kernel), this
should be invisible to a correctly written and linked program.

Actually, you shouldn't even need to port - your 2.5.1 binary
should run on 2.6 (and 7 and 8) providing you weren't making
use of any undocumented interfaces or bugs which were
subsequently fixed (and providing you didn't static link it,
which you shouldn't be doing anyway).

What happens if you just run your 2.5.1 binary on 2.6?
