No code. Not a big project either. Add SOCKET options to all server stanzas. Rename CreateSocket to create_inet_socket Setup create_unix_socket Add new CreateSocket that will call one or both as required by the configuration. That would give us unix-socket support on all daemons, including imapd and pop3d. Would that be usefull at all? I.e. does stunnel4 support connection to a unix-socket? Or perdition? -- ________________________________________________________________ Paul Stevens mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] NET FACILITIES GROUP PGP: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Netherlands________________________________http://www.nfg.nl
