I am trying to set TCP_MD5SIG option. I am trying this on an application running on the Linux kernel 2.5.25 which has support for this option. When my application is configured via the console to set an MD5 password for a peer, it is set on the listen socket. This is as per the usage of this option on Linux.
But in another task, the same socket is polled continuously for incoming connection requests via select(), accept(). So, is it correct to do so?

Hello there
The socket option IP_OPTIONS returns an integer value,
supposed to be the contents of the IP header.
Could you please help me out to interpret those values.

On the server side, one socket is used for listening, the others are used for communicating with the client.

If either can be set, what's the different?
Again, what's the different if set option... (1 Reply)

Hi everyone,
Question for gurus:
Is there a way for us to determine the options used by a socket?
I basically want to know if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled on a socket to know if the tcp_keepalive_abort_interval parameter will be used by that connection.
Was I clear enough? :confused:

Is there a Linux tunable to reduce the amount of time a socket waits before considering the remote side dead?
Its the same senario when you try to telnet to a dead machine, telnet sits and waits for ~30seconds, before the socket timer expires and cancels the request. (5 Replies)

listen
LISTEN(2) BSD System Calls Manual LISTEN(2)
NAME
listen -- listen for connections on a socket
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
int
listen(int socket, int backlog);
DESCRIPTION
Creation of socket-based connections requires several operations. First, a socket is created with socket(2). Next, a willingness to accept
incoming connections and a queue limit for incoming connections are specified with listen(). Finally, the connections are accepted with
accept(2). The listen() call applies only to sockets of type SOCK_STREAM.
The backlog parameter defines the maximum length for the queue of pending connections. If a connection request arrives with the queue full,
the client may receive an error with an indication of ECONNREFUSED. Alternatively, if the underlying protocol supports retransmission, the
request may be ignored so that retries may succeed.
RETURN VALUES
The listen() function returns the value 0 if successful; otherwise the value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate
the error.
ERRORS
listen() will fail if:
[EACCES] The current process has insufficient privileges.
[EBADF] The argument socket is not a valid file descriptor.
[EDESTADDRREQ] The socket is not bound to a local address and the protocol does not support listening on an unbound socket.
[EINVAL] socket is already connected.
[ENOTSOCK] The argument socket does not reference a socket.
[EOPNOTSUPP] The socket is not of a type that supports the operation listen().
SEE ALSO
accept(2), connect(2), connectx(2), socket(2)
BUGS
The backlog is currently limited (silently) to 128.
HISTORY
The listen() function call appeared in 4.2BSD.
