Hi!,
  this is a RAW socket question. tcp_output before
calling ip_output, copies over TTL/TOS from the PCB.
  but for a RAW socket for which INP_HDRINCL is not
set, shouldnt rip_output do the same ? BSD just sets
the TOS to 0, TTL to the default. the side effect of
this behaviour is that setsockopts for TOS/TTL dont
work on a raw socket.
  please comment ... am i missing something


thanks!
