Hi all,

Would it be possible for someone to explain why using Unix domain socket
with AFS seems impossible. As an example, I tried to use Chrome in
conjunction with a homedir stored in AFS. The browser creates its profile
directory in the AFS space and tries to "bind" to a socket in this
directory. From that point, the browser fails to start. I guess this is a
current limitation of AFS and I'd appreciate some technical info about that.
Is this a bad idea to use Unix domain sockets and is there a workaround to
be able to use applications which make use of them ?

Thanks,

Nicolas.
