Hi, I've tried this question on comp.os.os2.networking without success,
	so I thought I'd try it here...

I'm porting a client-server application to IBM's TCPIP for OS2.

I need to be able to set a close-on-exec flag on the sockets I open, because
the server is supposed to start new processes (which should not inherit
any descriptors).

On the UNIX-port I can use fcntl() to set this flag, but this can't be 
done in IBM's implementation (I believe) because sockets and filedesriptors
do not come from the same domain.

I would be grateful for any ideas...

Knut
