Quite often someone here will execute a C-shell script and will get the error ioctl: Operation not supported on socket This appears to come from the csh spawned to execute the script. The scripts which cause it simply copy files, change modes and the like; nothing that would involve sockets. Anyone out there know where this message is coming from? I've been searching with no luck so far. Many thanks..... ihnp4!tellab1!steve Steve Harpster

From: Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB) <gwyn@BRL-VLD.ARPA> On 4.2BSD pipes are socket pairs. Does this provide a clue? Note also that fstat() on a pipe gets bogus information.
