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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
