Re: Fwd: [PATCH 4/6] New GNU/Hurd backend

dhcpcd-10.5.0 does not work with Hurd due to the forced socket changes (should be a compile failure).

Hurd lacks the means of authenticating a socket. ideally getpeereid(3) should be supported as it's sockets are BSD centric

which would make my life easy.



In the meantime I'll harden the socket at the filesystem layer again, but the new readgroup support won't work as the socket can only have one group and the controlgroup takes precedence.



I'll try and get 10.5.1 out with this after my holidays.

For anyone interested in testing it, I have uploaded dhcpcd 10.5.0-1 
to experimental. It includes Joan's previous Hurd patches as merged by 
Roy (upstream).
