Hi Bastian, It may not belong here, but I'd be interested in this. How is /dev/console routed anywhere? Isn't that what's specified on the kernel command line, eg. the active vc or a serial line? >>> The sockets seem reasonable (based on /proc/net/unix), but how could I find >>> out >>> what the pipe is for? /proc/*/fd reveals writers only. > > lsof and grep? Otherwise: strace. As you may have probably noticed, dpkg seems guilty in this. -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
