All things related to multicast

["Carey, Michael" <>]

Yes, it appears that FreeBSD 1.5 isn't capable of supporting SSM.  

I don't know the exact reason we are on FreeBSD 1.5, but I suspect for some
compatibility reasons.  I believe there are plans to upgrade to RedHat Linux
so I will just have to wait a couple months before implementing.

Thanks,

As I don't currently have access to FreeBSD (although I might be able to
arrange something), I'm not aware myself of the issues. I would expect
at least asmping to work just fine (tested on NetBSD). ssmping requires
SSM support which you probably don't have (although I believe FreeBSD
can be patched to support it).

I would be interested in more details, I want it to work on FreeBSD
of course.

If anyone else using FreeBSD is able to help out, then please do,
