I don't *think* it does, but I'm not a kernel guru. I think what FreeBSD does is just to wake up one process blocked in accept for the socket which a connection arrives on, rather than all of them. But I'm not 100% sure. You might like to ask freebsd-hackers if you don't get a more definitive answer here since that list is for more technical things like this. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
