does anyone know where I might be able to get the source for the rwho daemon or any other program which uses broadcast sockets? I am trying to use them quite unsuccessfully at this stage. I seem to be producing packets on the network but they are not being received.

I think rwhod uses directed datagrams sent to specific hosts on a list,
not authentic broadcast sockets. I have gottent clnt_broadcast()
(the rpc call) to work, but I also haven't had success with sending
broadcast datagrams following the examples in the IPC tutorial.

You can find the sources to rwhod on uunet.uu.net in bsd-sources/usr.sbin/rwhod and it is a true boardcast. Use anonymous ftp to get the files. JG
