I think though, that lack libwrap support is the only reason that socket support wasn't included by default in the compilation. Because the security threat by using sockets can be easily managed by opensm configuration. So what do you say regarding enabling all socket support during compilation, unless libwrap is unavailable? -- Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
