Edwin-
thanks! that worked.
Why would I NOT want to set that socket option? It seems like something
I would always want to do.
I have 1000 pages of unix socket books and also man pages, but they
don't seem to be comprehensive enough. Is there a book that describes
all the features of setsockopt() (for example)? For example,the man page
I have doesn't describe the optional parameters (e.g.: &x) to
setsockopt().
