Edward Pilatowicz <edward.pilatow...@oracle.com> added the comment:
so i wrote a simple test program that tells me the defined length of
sun_path and then uses bind() with increasingly long paths to determine
the actually supported length of sun_path. here's what i've found:
Solaris:
defined sun_path = 108
max sun_path = 1024
FreeBSD 8.0:
defined sun_path = 104
max sun_path = 254
Fedora 11:
defined sun_path = 108
max sun_path = 108
i have requested access to an AIX system to check what length of
sun_path is defined and supported there.
while i could request that this value be changed in the OS, that would
likely cause problems with pre-existing compiled code. i'm guessing
that most OS vendors would not be eager to update this value, which is
probably why it's been the same small value for such a long time.
