Re: yet another unix socket question...

["Dr. Richard W. Tibbs" <ccamp () oakcitysolutions com>]

OOps. Sorry list, I did a little google search and realized my problem.
Please ignore this thread.
What is apparently the problem is that a socket file handle named 
/tmp/yaddafile is created upon first (successful) execution of the bind 
call.
Then, forever thereafter, unless you rm -f /tmp/yaddafile, bind gives 
you error 98, "address in use".

Thx...
