Subject: WANTED: Testers for kernel patch that allows opening sockets

I've made a patch against Linux 2.0.33 which causes `open' on a
Unix-domain socket to do the same thing as `connect'ing normally does.

The patch needs testing, which is where you lot come in.  Please visit

  http://www.excessus.demon.co.uk/linux/#af_unix

to pick up the patch.  Apply it to your kernel, configure the hacking
in, and see whether it works.  If it does, let me know, so I can
eventually send it off to the kernel maintainers, who can tick an item
off the wishlist.  If it doesn't, also let me know so that I can hack
whatever bugs there are into submission.

A version of the patch for 2.1 kernels will probably appear some time.
If someone else wants to produce one, that'll save me the effort and
I'll be extra happy.

Cheers,
