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?

The socket option IP_OPTIONS returns an integer value,
supposed to be the contents of the IP header.

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(2) System Calls Manual listen(2)
NAME
listen - Listens for socket connections and limits the backlog of incoming connections
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
int listen ( int socket, int backlog );
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
listen(): XNS5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
PARAMETERS
Specifies the unique name for the socket. Specifies the maximum number of outstanding connection requests.
DESCRIPTION
The listen() function identifies the socket that receives the connections, marks the socket as accepting connections, and limits the number
(backlog) of outstanding connection requests in the system queue.
The maximum queue length (backlog) that the listen() function can specify is indicated by the SOMAXCONN value in the sys/socket.h header
file.
The socket in use may require that the process have appropriate privileges to use the listen() function.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the listen() function returns a value of 0 (zero). Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
If the listen() function fails, errno may be set to one of the following values: The requested address is protected and the current process
does not have permission to access it. The socket parameter is not valid. The socket is not bound to a local address, and the protocol
does not support listening on an unbound socket. The socket is already connected; or the socket is shut down. Insufficient resources are
available in the system to complete the call. The socket parameter refers to a file, not a socket. The referenced socket is not a type
that supports the listen() function.
