Hosts do. Hosts can have multiple IP addresses. Both ipv4 and ipv6. Users don't have IP addresses either (they do have user IDs so that link is clear). I think I'm missing something big here. What does it *mean* for a task to have an IP address. Once that is clear maybe I can start to understand the rest, but until the meaning of "task has an IP address" is better explained/more clear I think I'm stuck. (and no the output in a log isn't a meaning, it's only a result) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
