Hi there,

a friend of mine has the following problem:

KHOROS comes with a function to do a rpc (remote procedure call). This function
is called 'kexec' (similar to 'exec')

calling kexec:
	kexec -c "ls -l" -m "earth"
	-c -> program to execute
	-m -> remote host

kexec works without errors when paramter -m is omitted (-m is optional and the
default value is the own host)

If he chooses a remote host (the host is known in the network) kexec aborts with
the following error message:

socket_connect: Cannot set option (_LINGER FALSE )....: Protocol not available

An other message (probably the same problem) appears when he use startx (openwin):

 Setting TCP SO_LINGER: Protocol not available
 no SIOCGIFCONF
 ....

But this has no effect on the work of the window-manager.
The Question is, which protocol is not available, and how can he make it available ?

Thanks a lot and please mail to the following address
