You set O_NONBLOCK on the socket before the connect, run select with a 2 sec timeout on the socket from there if you have a connection (depending on if select hit the timeout or not and what getsockopt for SO_ERROR returns) you set the socket back to blocking. Did you see any failures when the machine went away after the connect? I can't remember if we timeout while we are reading data from the scoket. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
