Is there any particular reason why bind() is not available as an ADF-requ=
est?
There is an ADF-request for listen() (READ&WRITE-OPEN).

The reason why I am asking is that I am trying regulate UDP communication=
=20
(actually I am trying to regulate all socket communication, but UDP is a =
good=20
example in this case). When you setup a UDP socket, you have to bind it. =
Then=20
the UDP socket can receive packets with the destination equal to the boun=
d=20
adress. All subsequent send requests on that socket will have the source=20
address equal to that of the bound adress.

TCP is very easy to regulate as it is now, connect and listen are enough=20
(which are covered by the ADF). However, I think listen() is not appropri=
ate=20
since it does not cover all protocols. Clearly, it does not cover UDP, ra=
w IP=20
and possibly other protocols.

Comments on my comments? ;-)

<woops>
Disregard my earlier non-finished message. I accidently managed to send t=
he=20
email. I don't know how I did it, but I guess it's a new "feature" in KMa=
il=20
for KDE2 ;)
