My test code seems to bear this out, but I though I should ask anyway
before giving up... if I want to send a file descriptor to another
process via sendmsg(), will that only work over a unix domain socket,
or is there some way to get that to work over a local AF_INET socket?
Or, is there some other way of getting a file descriptor from one
process to another that I should be looking at (one that doesn't
require write access to the file system)?
Thanks,
Dave
