Hi Tzafrir On Fri, 28 Dec 2001, Kohn Emil Dan wrote: Hi Tzafrir, There should be no problem regarding its compilation, however if you compile it don't remove that macro from refreshd_params.h refreshd will not run correctly. What I wanted to say here was that if you compile with the macro ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESSES defined on platforms other than Linux 2.2+ then refreshd will compile, but it will not work. You *must* undefine that macro on platforms other than Linux 2.2+ !! You *may* also compile on Linux 2.2+ with the macro undefined, but in this case it won't use the abstract UNIX domain socket addresses. I don't think that anyone could understand anything out of my previous reply. I hope this makes it clearer.

But I needed to add -lsocket to the link line . Welcome to Solaris ;-)). Solaris being a SysV derived system uses streams as the primary kernel communication mechanism. Sockets are implemented in user space using the streams system calls. Any program using sockets on Solaris must link with -lsocket. In addition almost any program using sockets over TCP/IP must link with -lnsl. But this is not the case with refreshd. It is on csd under /tmp/tzafrir (it should be world-readable) /tmp/tzafrir is world-readable. However r2l-0.9.1 is not (no exec bit set to the world). Anyway I looked around in the r2l-0.9.1.tar.gz file. The macro in refreshd_params.h is defined. For Solaris, this is clearly wrong. Thinking better, probably the default should be with that macro undefined and adding -DABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET_ADDRESSES to gcc when compiling under Linux 2.2+ Regards, Emil On Fri, 28 Dec 2001, Kohn Emil Dan wrote: Hi Tzafrir, What problems did you experience with refreshd?
