Ah, yes. I slowly remember that I always write unlink before bind ;-) I found some information about socket reuse here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15716302/so-reuseaddr-and-af-unix But it there a technical reason for this behavior, or is it simply not implemented (I am just curios)? _______________________________________________ lxc-devel mailing list lxc-devel@lists.linuxcontainers.org http://lists.linuxcontainers.org/listinfo/lxc-devel
