PPP Port: Cannot set gateway address

[Daniel E Baumann]

O.K., I have been debuggin this thing here. For sdome reason though when I
try to set the gateway programatically it doesn't like it and my error
message is displayed, as shown here in this snippet:

        int result = 1;
        error_t err;
          
        /* The file we use as a handle to get FSYS.  */
        char *node_name; 
        file_t node;

        /* The filesystem we're passing options to.  */
        fsys_t fsys;
        char opt[sizeof("--gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")] = "--gateway=";
        strcat(opt, inet_ntoa(gateway));

        asprintf(&node_name, _SERVERS_SOCKET_PFINET);
        node = file_name_lookup (node_name, 0, 0666);
        if (node == MACH_PORT_NULL)
        {
    log_Printf(LogERROR, "HURD: Can't open port to pfinet server, 
file_name_lookup 
                                                                failed with 
%s.\n", strerror(errno));
                error (1, errno, "%s", node_name);
        }
                                 
        /* Get the filesystem for NODE.  */
        err = file_getcontrol (node, &fsys);
        if (err)
        {
    log_Printf(LogERROR, "HURD: Can't get the filesystem for node %s.", 
node_name); 
                error (2, err, "%s", node_name);
        }

        err = fsys_set_options (fsys, opt, 1, 1);
        if (err)
        {
    log_Printf(LogERROR, "HURD: Failed to set option %s for node %s.", opt, 
node_name); 
                error(5, err, "%s: %s", node_name, opt);
        }

I get Error: HURD: Failed to set option --gateway=10.0.0.2 for node 
/servers/socket/2.
It pulls that IP from the config file. Shouldn't ths work? Shouldn't I be able 
to set
the gateway? I do not see what is wrong here. Anyone have any ideas?
