Hello,
When using a non-blocking connect, is it _guaranteed_ that connection completion can be detected by selecting for writeability?

Hi everybody !
We have all flavors of Unix / Linux and we want to restrict ftp users to telnet our servers.
We can't disable telnet because we have other users using it.

connect(3SOCKET) connect(3SOCKET)
NAME
connect - initiate a connection on a socket
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lsocket -lnsl [ library ... ]
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int connect(int s, const struct sockaddr *name, int namelen);
The parameter s is a socket. If it is of type SOCK_DGRAM, connect() specifies the peer with which the socket is to be associated. This
address is the address to which datagrams are to be sent if a receiver is not explicitly designated. This address is the only address from
which datagrams are to be received. If the socket s is of type SOCK_STREAM, connect() attempts to make a connection to another socket. The
other socket is specified by name. name is an address in the communication space of the socket. Each communication space interprets the
name parameter in its own way. If s is not bound, then s will be bound to an address selected by the underlying transport provider. Gener-
ally, stream sockets can successfully connect() only once. Datagram sockets can use connect() multiple times to change their association.
Datagram sockets can dissolve the association by connecting to a null address.
If the connection or binding succeeds, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and sets errno to indicate the error.
The call fails if:
EACCES Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix of the pathname in name.
EADDRINUSE The address is already in use.
EADDRNOTAVAIL The specified address is not available on the remote machine.
EAFNOSUPPORT Addresses in the specified address family cannot be used with this socket.
EALREADY The socket is non-blocking, and a previous connection attempt has not yet been completed.
EBADF s is not a valid descriptor.
ECONNREFUSED The attempt to connect was forcefully rejected. The calling program should close(2) the socket descriptor, and
issue another socket(3SOCKET) call to obtain a new descriptor before attempting another connect() call.
EINPROGRESS The socket is non-blocking, and the connection cannot be completed immediately. You can use select(3C) to com-
plete the connection by selecting the socket for writing.
EINTR The connection attempt was interrupted before any data arrived by the delivery of a signal. The connection, how-
ever, will be established asynchronously.
EINVAL namelen is not the size of a valid address for the specified address family.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
EISCONN The socket is already connected.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname in name.
ENETUNREACH The network is not reachable from this host.
EHOSTUNREACH The remote host is not reachable from this host.
ENOENT A component of the path prefix of the pathname in name does not exist.
ENOENT The socket referred to by the pathname in name does not exist.
ENOSR There were insufficient STREAMS resources available to complete the operation.
ENXIO The server exited before the connection was complete.
ETIMEDOUT Connection establishment timed out without establishing a connection.
EWOULDBLOCK The socket is marked as non-blocking, and the requested operation would block.
The following errors are specific to connecting names in the UNIX domain. These errors might not apply in future versions of the UNIX IPC
domain.
ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix of the pathname in name is not a directory.
ENOTSOCK s is not a socket.
ENOTSOCK name is not a socket.
EPROTOTYPE The file that is referred to by name is a socket of a type other than type s. For example, s is a SOCK_DGRAM
socket, while name refers to a SOCK_STREAM socket.
