   Guys, here's the problem. 

   I've a daemon which waits for incoming connections on a socket. 
   When a connection request comes in, it allocates memory for the 
   request and forks a child to handle the request - passing in 
   the request structure the daemon allocated.  Can the daemon 
   and the child modify the request structure at the same time? 

   The child updates the request structure and then exits. How will
   the parent know when the child is done?

   If theres sample code to look at I'd appreciate a pointer.

   Thanks,

   Sabrina
