socket_send & socket_recv fail when sending non-socket ports

Hi, While adding support for SCM_RIGHTS to glibc, I've created a testcase that sends and receives some ports on the result of a socketpair() call. The ports sent were initially the two ports result of another socketpair() call, and it was working fine, but then I tried with the result of a couple

[PATCH] Add support to send file descriptors over Unix sockets

Hi, This patch adds support for SCM_RIGHTS to glibc. It works fine when sending file descriptors from a socket() or a socketpair() call, but not from e.g. an open() call, as I've mentioned in another mail. That's not because of my patch though. The attached testcase runs fine with the #if set to
