Title: unix domain sockets
Post by: Dmi on July 20, 2005, 03:41:46 PM
Lutz!

What about net-listen for af_unix - file-based sockets?

Is there a way to use AF_UNIX domain in net-* functions?

I need to play with syslog-like technics...



Probably I could reproduce a copy of nl-sock.c but for AF_UNIX domain.

But perhaps there is something already?

Why can you not use standard AF_INET sockets?

I trying to construct log engine, that will be listen and distribute events through several sockets, and will distinguish rights of it's clients based on their unix permissions of writing to socket files.

but...

I got idea, that, probably, request to identd will be sufficient replacement...

I think now, I'll go that way - until development it looks more simple.



Thanks! :-)
