The suspense is killing me. How did you get it to work? I was trying to connect as a client to my collegue's daemon written in C which created and was listening on /tmp/mysocket all done on Solaris 7. Yesterday, I was sure that I had read that Sun had hard-coded values, but today all I can find in the docs is the Camel book mentioning that ancient Perl scripts had values hard-coded (which, over time, mutated into "It's not my fault after all").

Here's the code for the curious

$socketname = "/tmp/mysocket";
socket(SOCK, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)   or die "socket: $!";
connect(SOCK, sockaddr_un($socketname)) or die "connect: $!";

Thanks for the info,
