What lies under /var/spool/sockets

Hello. can anyone help?

I have a directory called /vaar/spool/sockets/ICE on one of our servers, but not on another, which runs similar applications. I do not know what type of files this contains, but would like to know what it is for!

Does anyone know? the documentation is a little patchy!

Re: What lies under /var/spool/sockets

on both my 11.11 and 11.0 systems, it looks like this:

$ ls -l /var/spool/sockets
total 64
drwxrwxrwx 2 bin bin 96 Nov 15 2000 X11
drwxrwxrwx 2 root sys 96 Nov 15 2000 common
srwxrwxrwx 1 daemon sys 0 Nov 25 18:29 grmd
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 32768 Dec 1 11:07 pwgr

Re: What lies under /var/spool/sockets

HI,

Programs like X11 and other sockets-based programs use the files
in the '/var/spool/sockets/ICE' directory. The sockets in this
directory are temporary and are created/re-created as needed.
