- Subject: Share sockets between processes
Greetings,
I would like to share a socket which are created by the parent
process with all the children.
My parent is a server which calls fork() on accepting connections
using accept(). I would like to send data from one client to the other
client, I know the socket number that the two clients are on.
Assume that child1 and child2 are created in a sequence.
I am able to send data on sockets create for child1 from the child2. But
child1 cannot use socket created for child2 and can successfully send data.
The entire code with a client stub is avaiable at

Bye.
