You must be talking about Unix-domain sockets, and all I remember seeing in netstat is IP sockets. I expect what you're seeing is a BSD-only issue because System V-based systems such as Solaris use a library for Unix-domain sockets which end up creating a named pipe. Could you give us a simple set of commands and a simple program to open a socket which reproduces your problem? That would help to debug the problem. I don't have freebsd, but if you make the simple test case I could try it on the systems I do have to see if any of them exhibit the problem. - Dave -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
