https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280705 --- Comment #6 from paul vixie <paul@redbarn.org> --- It has always been the case that if you bind to inaddr_any your socket will be available on all host interface addresses, and if you connect or sendto inaddr_any you'll reach some socket bound to some host interface address. In that sense yes this will be a breaking change. However, it's "good trouble" and we should follow openbsd's lead on the matter. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
