I'm using the EV_SET macro to add to the queue, but my understanding is that it's calling kevent() to do it. It does not. It just helps you populate the structure. If you thought the EV_SET() macro called kevent(), then the rest of your results are called into question. OK, my bad -- but after re-re-re-re-reading the man page and looking at my code (which seems to work, well, mostly <smile>), it is doing what you indicate ... and I do receive events from only the FDs I put on the kqueue when I call kevent as long as I specify a non-0 timeval. but I don't see how specifying a timespec with 0 makes kevent() return an event for some FD i've never heard of. Are you checking the results of kevent()? That'll tell you how many of the returned kevent structures you can safely look at, if any. Yes, I am ... but i'm going to take a longer look at this and figure out what i'm doing wrong. I appreciate the help, i'm just trying to understand this. I advocate Macs and OSX all the time to friends and coworkers, and I want to say things like "you can make an OSX server scale regarding simultaneous active socket connections as well, or better, than any Windows or Linux machine, and this is how 'cuz i've done it on all of them."
