Hi, >> error=guestsock->ops->bind(guestsock,(struct sockaddr*)&sun,sizeof(sun)); >> gives my a "socket thread: can't bind guest socket: Operation not >> permitted" with a errno of -2, when GUESTSOCKET is /tmp/guestsocket. > Once again. Get the value of error. It is the key. It does NOT return > error in errno. Actually it was the value of error and not the value of errno (which is as I recently learn totaly useless in that case). >>It seams to work when I use \0guestsocket. But that seams to be a so >> called abstract name and I don't know who to handle that. Ok, I found out, what the "abstract namespace" is, and unfortunatly I can't use it.
