Ok, I still really really disapointed about FreeBSD and the ways people are communicating together. But let's targeting keyserv ... For a local unix transport, (at the moment), you cannot just use svc_create(), that is neither implemented by sun not NetBSD. I fixed keyserv here and I'm testing it at the moment. I looked at suns code and have seen that the just copied code from svc_generic.c and used it for the local transport. Keyserv runs now here over local transport. 100029 1 unix /var/run/keyservsock keyserv superuser That looks better ... I'll do further testing Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
