Yes, but I'm accessing them through my remote[public] IP address. The idea behind it is to have a fifo that works across the network through an NFS mount. Is that possible? I serched google for 'socket file', and all that I got was 'fifo', but they are to be used only on a singl machine for communication between 2 or more applications, but couldn't find any file abstraction for communication for processes on distinct machines. Do you know of any such thing, cause I couldn't find any. > > -- > Arvind Kalyan > http://www.devforge.net/~arv > -- -Dhruv Matani. http://www.geocities.com/dhruvbird/ The race of quality has no finish line. ~Anon. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
