| The socket module doesn't seem to support the sendmsg operation for AF_UNIX sockets, at least in Python 2.2.2 under Linux. This is needed to send ancillary messages to sockets. Those in turn allow a process to see the user id of its peer, allows sending file descriptors to other processes (needed for anything like User Mode Linux so that non-root processes can open privileged ports), and so forth. | ||

| Logged In: YES user_id=72053 I may see about putting a patch together but don't hold your breath. Main purpose of this RFE is to track the item. It's not urgent for me right now. |
