Hi, thanks for your help - unfortunately it doesn't help. With "stream_socket_client ()" I get the message "unable to connect to unix://\0/tmp/hald-local/dbus-ZniNmvr5O0 (Connection refused) in /root/dbus_session.php on line 272" which is at least better, because it shows the full path. I verified it with PHP 5.1.2 (cli) (built: Jul 17 2007 17:32:48) Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies (It's a Debian based machine) and PHP 5.2.5-pl1-gentoo (cli) (built: Dec 29 2007 11:46:44) Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies with eAccelerator v0.9.5.1, Copyright (c) 2004-2006 eAccelerator, by eAccelerator (Gentoo) socket_create and socket_connect produces the following error: Warning: socket_connect() [function.socket-connect]: unable to connect [22]: Invalid argument in ... again verified on both systems and definitely with the right arguments - the socket resource and a "[NUL]/tmp/path" string as written in the PHP manual. Are their other solutions or known problems? If not, I will maybe post it as a bug - but wanted to make sure that it's not my fault.
