I think there's something else going on. You can hold open a vmnet device by the simple expedient of "cat /dev/vmnet0" and when I tested with a Linux cat and killed it with a "kill -9" it closed the descriptor properly. Some things I haven't tried, but though might have an effect were using fork or linux threads to create multiple refrences to the device and then closing them oddly. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
