Greetings, I would like to share a socket which are created by the parent process with all the children. My parent is a server which calls fork() on accepting connections using accept(). I would like to send data from one client to the other client, I know the socket number that the two clients are on. Assume that child1 and child2 are created in a sequence. I am able to send data on sockets create for child1 from the child2. But child1 cannot use socket created for child2 and can successfully send data. The entire code with a client stub is avaiable at http://www.geocities.com/amishmunshi/sourcecode.zip Bye. -- There are a hundred reasons when things go wrong.
