Hi All, I have a small question on setsockopt. I have a client and server programs runnings on two different machines. (communicating using sockets, SO_KEEPALIVE is set with setsockopt). When one of the machines is powered down the other partner is not informed. I came across some documentation which states that SO_KEEPALIVE takes effect when "keepalive" option is set at the interface level. (using ifconfig eth0 keepalive 10). Is thsi true ? Could you help in understanding this better. Thanks and Regards, --Thomas http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
