As I said, this can only be done over UNIX sockets, not over TCP sockets. Someone has asked here some time ago that we implement this into haproxy and it's not that far from being possible. You should look at man 7 unix and search for SCM_RIGHTS, you'll find there everything you need to pass an fd over a unix socket. Willy
