$ man mknod ? The main issue with a named pipe is that if it ever blocks, the server blocks, too. See any number of messages on this list asking why the RADIUS server stops responding when the SQL server is down... If the writes to the named pipe are non-blocking, that's better. But it means that data will be lost when the reader of the pipe disappears. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
