It _is_ selecting on the port.
/*
* wait_input - wait until there is data available on fd,
* for the length of time specified by *timo (indefinite
* if timo is NULL).
*/
wait_input(timo)
struct timeval *timo;
{
fd_set ready;
int n;
FD_ZERO(&ready);
FD_SET(fd, &ready);
n = select(fd+1, &ready, NULL, &ready, timo);
if (n < 0 && errno != EINTR) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "select: %m");
die(1);
}
}
