Hi all

When using accept() with:
int sd_client =3D accept(socket_descriptor, (sockaddr *)&client,
(socklen_t *) sizeof(client));

Accept return -1 and 14 in errno, but when I use:

socklen_t alen;
int sd_client =3D accept(socket_descriptor, (sockaddr *)&client, &alen);

It works fine. Why can't you use the first method? There must be a way
to avoid creating a variable just to hold the address?!?!?
