Re: inetd on win95


I sent a series of mails on this topic at the start of June this year,
with the subject:
inetd under Win95 OSR2.5

I was using Winsock2.

I traced the problem as far as:
A socket is duplicated as stdin. A socket operation is then performed
on stdin, which fails with ENOTSOCK.

The following code demonstrated this:
ns = accept(...)
getpeername(ns, ...) -> Successful, and gets right answer
dup2(ns,0)
getpeername(0, ...) -> Fails with ENOTSOCK

I did not receive any other comments from the mailing list, so I presume
the problem is still there.

Cheers,
Tim
