Hi,

  I'm having problem when I create a raw socket from SCTP layer to IP. It's giving me segmentation fault at the line where I create the socket evenif I have root access.

The piece of  code ( in linux platform) is like this:

------

// create a raw socket

if( (rawsd = socket( PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, 132 )) < 0)--- segmentation fault here

 {
    if(errno == EPERM)
      {
       printf("\n must have root access to create the raw socket\n");
       exit(-1);
      }
    printf("\n Can't create the socket");
    exit(-1);
  }

    printf("\n created the raw socket");

----------   

 

It would be a great help if you can let me know where I'm doing wrong.

 

Thanks & regards,
