#102 Multicast route add failure

[Anonymous]

This may be a known problem but we found a bug in the slpd startup script from openslp-1.2.1-1. The problem is when adding the multicast routes, multiple interfaces may be returned by netstat –i. The startup script assumes a single interface. A patch is below:

Fixed in 2.0 code base.
