Hi,

My familiarity to the use PF_KEY is very limited.
I am encountering the following problem.

In the code that I am looking at
a PF_KEY socket has been opened.
A SADB_REGISTER message through the socket.

And immediately it tries to receive from that socket.

And the message it receives has only header. 16 byte length.
I understood this by debugging the code.

Could somebody tell me what it means?

Subsequent code is supposed to use the following message parts to 
initialize some data structures to mark the supported algorithms. And 
since there is no 'following message' it fails.

I am using a solaris 8 (sparc) machine.

Regards
Vijay
