Hi,

I currently try to change the kernel option RANDOM_IP_ID into a
sysctl. That was done in FreeBSD and NetBSD a while ago.
I have a created a basic patch, which can be found at
http://generic.0xfce3.net/dragonflybsd/20050810-randomipid.patch
Now to the problems.

I tried to compile a kernel (HEAD) with this patch, but in the linking stage
I get the following errors:
| linking kernel.debug
| ip_output.o(.text+0x1da): In function `ip_output':
| /home/gordon/src/ipid/d-sys/src/sys/netinet/ip_var.h:227: undefined 
reference to `ip_do_randomid'
| raw_ip.o(.text+0x448): In function `rip_output':
| /home/gordon/src/ipid/d-sys/src/sys/netinet/ip_var.h:227: undefined 
reference to `ip_do_randomid'
| *** Error code 1

Has anyone a hint how I could solve this?

best regards,

   Gordon
