The second iovec above can't just be MAX_AUDIT_MESSAGE_LENGTH, or if there are two messages you'll read some/all of the next one(s). You either need to read the header first and then use hdr.size, or separate the IO from the parsing. Also you can't just check for readv() as above, you need to check that you've read the amount of data you want, and if you didn't get it all yet then loop. -- James Antill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Red Hat
