How can I create a socket? As I understand it fd=socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0); I don't know how syslog-ng can accept to be told to listen on such a socket. netcat can do the job of Echo in such a way (see -U switch) There exists a mksock from the MAKEDEV package, it has no manpage, I am afriad that's as much as I know. -Andy
