You cannot create this one with a command, since it is only valid for the server that has been creating the socket node. (Despite of this, it looks very similar to a FIFO.) So the mere question is which server is supposed to create this socket. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
