That sounds similar to the SysV approach - you open a device and push a collection of streams modules. I'm not sure that ioctl() is any better than bind/connect etc - a process still needs special code if it's to be network-aware. IMHO, the portal filesystem provides a far more interesting approach. --=20 Peter Jeremy --gdTfX7fkYsEEjebm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEoPwB/opHv/APuIcRAgP+AKC3NvAjA3LXsU19AfQoD1kPM4T7UACeN9x9 QVP9Aebo76Fz6h61ro6RtMU= =LN9l -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gdTfX7fkYsEEjebm--
