The main reason I posted was to explain the reasoning behind the decision, i.e., problems with firewalls. The pedantry was just a bonus.

This prevents problems with firewalls when running Softimage. By default this is set but you may need to unset it, for example, to use imf_disp to show renders in progress. gray From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Dan Yargici Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 10:37 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: imf_disp error: Could not connect to the socket specified in the stubfile It's been a while since I used Mental Ray but I just stumbled into this. Can anyone explain the reasoning behind the decision to turn this feature off by default? If it doesn't cause some kind of instability can we please get it back on by default!

Anyone know what socket it's using?
