can't get 0.0.0.0 source to work when used in config

[cbueche]

Hi,

here I am again needing samplicator to duplicate SNMP traps from a set of sources to two destinations.

Working

Using receiver on the command line works, eg with an empty config file

/usr/sbin/samplicate -c /etc/samplicator.conf -d 0 -f -S -s 111.22.33.44 -p 162 -4 111.22.33.44/1162

All my SNMP traps coming into port 162 go out to same host, port 1162. So far so good.

Broken

If I use a config entry in /etc/samplicator.conf :

0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:111.22.33.44/1162

And no destination on the command line:

/usr/sbin/samplicate -c /etc/samplicator.conf -d 0 -f -S -s 111.22.33.44 -p 162 -4

packets are not being sent out, respectively they show up with -d 1 in the console but they do not go out to port 1162.

The last sentence of the README : Receivers specified on the command line will get all packets, those specified in the config-file will get only packets with a matching source. might be an explanation, but I fail to understand the logic.

@sleinen : could you please explain ?

Thanks for the report with the clear description! I'd have to delve into parts of the code that I haven't touched in many years, and unfortunately I don't have time for that right now.

You might get useful debugging messages if you pass a value greater than zero to the -d option. Have you tried that?

I tried rising the debugging level but it didn't help. I may have a look at the code, the last time I coded in C was in 1990 when working for Ascom...
