    Problem Summary PG4U.00077 This IR claims that an null sockaddr_un sun_path qualifies as a condition to reset the peer address instead of fail a SOCK_DGRAM connect() call.
    Problem Text
    We believe this is a test suite deficiency.

    The X/Open CAE Specification (1994) for Networking Services, Issue 4,
    states, under the Description for connect():
    "... For SOCK_DGRAM sockets, the peer address identifies where all
    datagrams are sent on subsequent send() calls, and limits the
    remote sender for subsequent recv() calls. If address is a null
    address for the protocol, the socket's peer address will be reset."

    In this testcase we check the sock_name field. Since it has a
    null in it we treat this as a null address and assume this is a reset
    case. Since we see this as a reset case the connect does not fail on
    our implementation.
    Test Output
    TEST PURPOSE #22
    If the implementation supports the AF_UNIX
    communications domain and a connection-oriented socket
    type:
    ENOENT in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    connect(int socket, const struct sockaddr *address,
    size_t address_len) when the address family of the
    socket is AF_UNIX and the pathname points to an empty
    string.
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_un: path = ../tmp/unix.AABbxQ
    TEST: AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM

    TEST: connect socket with empty path

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe the test is correct.

    The portion of the spec the submitter quotes clearly states that
    the connect() calls address not the sockaddr_un sun_path member
    must be null for a reset to occur. Since this is not the case
    the test should perform as expected on the IUT.
