That's not entirely the truth. It affects all applications using AF_UNIX sockets while file descriptors are being transfered. I agree that the performance impact is not severe on most systems but if file descriptors are being transfered continously by just a single application it can become rather severe. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
