I doubt it writes to fd 5 - instead, it will open a few files/sockets/pipes and writes to them. One of them happens to get the 5 assigned as filedescriptor. Figure out which one (I guess you used strace to get that number the firest hand?), and if it's a file, just read the contents of it. If its anything else, I'm pretty much out of ideas, but maybe others aren't. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
