Anybody thinking of support for pf_unix sockets? Or does such a patch exist already? Although the bigger servers/services I use xinetd for can deal with using tcp/ip and loopback locally, there are some situations, esp on very constrained & embedded systems, where I'd prefer the local cx to be pf_local/pf_unix sockets for perf & working-set. xinetd has so much great logging & mgmnt it would be great to leverage for these rather than rolling something new. Apologies if this q is brain-dead or faq -- didn't find it in faq's, google or a troll of the mailing-list archive, and a quick browse of the source didn't look like this was trivial, either, but perhaps I didn't look well enough. Thx for any thoughts, n@
