CONFIG_UNIX is defined in net/unix/Kconfig or simply do a "make
menuconfig" and search for UNIX.
It depends on CONFIG_NET. Check your .config ...

During boot up on the Encore M3 board (AU1500 MIPS) of the 2.6.14.6

The kernel tried to open UNIX domain socket but because support is not
compiled it will load the module instead. Now, glibc-based programs
happen to try to connect to nscd via a UNIX domain socket on startup
and the whole show starts all over. After a few iterations the kernel
gets tired of the whole game and prints this friendly message.
What does the net-pf-1 mean?
net-pf-1 is PF_UNIX, see the definitions in include/linux/socket.h. So
you should set CONFIG_UNIX to y.
Thanks for your reply Ralf, but I dont see he CONFIG_UNIX option in my
Makefile, so I created one, but still get the same error!
is there anything else that i should try?
Thanks again,
Ashlesha.
Building it as a module won't work
as you just found :).
