Re: ss_family in hba.c

My system has the same problem - struct sockaddr_storage is defined in
/usr/include/bits/socket.h :

struct sockaddr_storage
{
__SOCKADDR_COMMON (__ss_); /* Address family, etc. */
__ss_aligntype __ss_align; /* Force desired alignment. */
char __ss_padding[_SS_PADSIZE];
};

Where SOCKADDR_COMMON is defined in sockaddr.h as :

#define __SOCKADDR_COMMON(sa_prefix) \
sa_family_t sa_prefix##family

That means on my machine it needs __ss_family and not ss_family

Kernel 2.4.18
SuSE 7.1

I changed ss_family to __ss_family and it compiles fine (also in an ip.c &
fe-connect.c IIRC) ...
