mach ports cannot be done except after an exec, not fork.
ha ? uh ...
how could I do then ?

I plan to make it a StartupItem, so I need to make it a daemon, I mean at last I should return immediately (and how to do that, if not by using fork() ?)

and then I want to be able to do advanced communication, if I could avoid having to write my own version of DO on top of socket that would be cool.. any idea ?

call:

daemon(0, 0);

This will detach the program from the Terminal that's running it, and make the current process a daemon. Check the man page: 'man daemon'
