Problem with Pipes => Only works first pipe

Hi!

I'm having problems with pipes... I need comunnications with childs processes and parents, but only one child can comunnicate with parent (first child), others childs can't.

A brief of code:

Code:

if(pipe(client1r)<0){
                perror("pipe");
        }
        if(pipe(client2r)<0){
                perror("pipe");
        }
        if(pipe(client3r)){
                perror("pipe");
        }
        listen(sock,5);
        while(1){
                FD_ZERO(&fds);
                FD_SET(client1r[0],&fds);
                FD_SET(client2r[0],&fds);
                FD_SET(client3r[0],&fds);
                FD_SET(sock,&fds);
                a=select(256,&fds,NULL,NULL,NULL);
                if(a>0){
                        c=0;
                        if(FD_ISSET(client1r[0],&fds)){
                                write(1,"test",12);
                        }
                        if(FD_ISSET(client3r[0],&fds)){
                                 write(1,"test",12);
                        }
                        if(FD_ISSET(client2r[0],&fds)){
                                write(1,"You Win",7);
                        }
                        if(FD_ISSET(sock,&fds)){
                                fd_client = accept(sock,0,0);
                                if(fd_client == -1){
                                        perror("accept");
                                }else{
                                        (*numlogin)=(*numlogin)+1;
                                        fill=fork();
                                        switch(fill){
                                            case 0:
                                                        if((*numlogin)==2){
                                                                close(client2r[0]);  
                                                                Client(fd_client,logins,shmid1,shmid2,shmid3,client2r[1]);
                                                        }
                                                        if((*numlogin)==1){
                                                                close(client1r[0]);
                                                               Client(fd_client,logins,shmid1,shmid2,shmid3,client1r[1]);
                                                        }
                                                        if((*numlogin)==3){
                                                                close(client3r[0]); 
                                                               Client(fd_client,logins,shmid1,shmid2,shmid3,client3r[1]);
                                                        }
                                                        break;
                                                case -1:
                                                        write(1,"Error al fork\n",14);
                                                        break;
                                                default:
                                                        close(client1r[1]);
                                                        close(client2r[1]);
                                                        close(client3r[1]);
                                                        close(fd_client); //No ho necessita
                                                        break; //PARE

Results are:

First pipe (client1r) works correctly, but others pipe (client2r and client3r) doesn't works. I don't understant why doesn't works, because others pipes are exactly the same, and then I call another function (function client) passin the value.

Any idea?

Thanks

vfork

vfork(2)							System Calls Manual							  vfork(2)

Name
       vfork - spawn new process in a virtual memory-efficient way

Syntax
       pid = vfork()
       int pid;

Description
       The  can  be used to create new processes without fully copying the address space of the old process, which is inefficient in a paged envi-
       ronment.  It is useful when the purpose of would have been to create a new system context for an The system call differs from in  that  the
       child borrows the parent's memory and thread of control until a call to or an exit (either by a call to or abnormally.)	The parent process
       is suspended while the child is using its resources.

       The system call returns a value of zero (0) in the child's context and, later, the pid of the child in the parent's context.

       The system call can normally be used just like It does not work, however, to return while running in the childs context from the  procedure
       which  called because the eventual return from would then return to a nonexistent stack frame.  Be careful, also, to call _exit rather than
       exit if you cannot call because exit will flush and close standard I/O channels and thereby cause problems in the parent process's standard
       I/O data structures.  Even with it is wrong to call exit, because buffered data would then be flushed twice.

Restrictions
       To avoid a possible deadlock situation, processes which are children in the middle of a are never sent SIGTTOU or SIGTTIN signals.  Rather,
       output or ioctls are allowed, and input attempts result in an end-of-file indication.

Diagnostics
