-n flag does not work

[Edgars M.]

Hi

It looks like -n flag does not work when I create socket on server:

/usr/local/bin/spiped -d -s '[0.0.0.0]:1081' -t '[10.10.1.20]:1080' -k
~/danteproxy.key -n 1000
usage: spiped {-e | -d} -s <source socket> -t <target socket> -k <key file>
[-DfFj] [-n <max # connections>] [-o <connection timeout>] [-p
<pidfile>]
[{-r <rtime> | -R}]

OS: CentOS 6.5 x86_64
spiped: 1.3.1

Am I missing something?

In the source code there is a check that the parameter to the -n option
should be more than 0 and less than 500. This does not seem to be
documented in the manual page or in the usage message :) But that's
the reason for your troubles. Try with 500, things should work better.

G'luck,
Peter

Good catch, I've added this to the man page and added an error message
for out-of-range -n parameters to replace the usage message.

Hi

Thanks, it works with -n 500
