It appears I have the dubious honor of being the first one to post an idiot's question to this newsgroup. In our last episode, my UNIX domain sockets weren't working: clients would get "Socket is not connected". One of the guys at MIPS sent a message that, while not solving the problem directly, gave me the clue I needed (thanks, MIPS), and of course the answer is completely obvious and I was being completely stupid: a simple permission problem. The server was setuid-root, the client wasn't, and didn't have sufficient permission to write to the socket. Ah well. A umask(0) in the server before creating the socket worked wonders. So UNIX domain sockets work after all, and I am happy. Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu
