So, in some cases I'll have the correct pid/path, and in other cases I'll have just one value or neither. = Mike _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

I tried to parse your original description, but was unable to deduce what you're actually trying to do. Are you attempting to determine the identity of the originator of the incoming connection, or the party that will ultimately call accept(2)? Is there any reason why you have to know early, rather than waiting until the connection is accepted before determining whether or not to block it? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
