Hi, I have a program that uses INET sockets and I wanted to change it to use Unix domain sockets. Here is the relevant code: import Network withSocketsDo $ do sock <- listenOn portID (h, hostname, portnumber) <- accept sock while this code works fine with portID = PortNumber (toEnum 9099) I get an error message when running it with portID = UnixSocket "/home/thiemann/.socket" Fail: user error Reason: accept: can't peform accept on socket in status Bound The file is still created with the right permissions: srw------- 1 thiemann users 0 Jan 14 22:48 /home/thiemann/.socket= Since there is not much that I can do in the Network module, it looks like there is a problem in its implementation? BTW, I'm running ghc-5.04.1 on this machine: [kailua] 108 > uname -a Linux kailua 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 unknown It would be very convenient if I could use Unix sockets as they save me from implementing an authentication protocol. -Peter
