The ecos-patches mailling list please.


Removed optional KeyIdentifer and MesageDigest fields, which weren't being used, and caused certain servers not to respond
when these fields were included with null values.

Please put this in the ChangeLog file in the sntp directory. Follow
the format of the other entries.
ecos-opt/net/net/sntp/current/src/sntp.c

/* Note that the KeyIdentifier and MessageDigest fields are not
   included since they are optional (RFC2030) and in certain cases
   will cause some SNTP servers from responding if included with
   null values.
 */

<   cyg_uint32    KeyIdentifier;          /* Optional */
<   cyg_uint8     MessageDigest[16];      /* Optional */

Please use the unified format to diff, ie -u. It is easier to read.



I would prefer to see these just commented out (or even a CDL option). That way, we can remember what goes there if it's ever necessary to resurrect those fields.
