Sam Ravnborg6a2e9b72005-07-11 21:13:56 -07009 If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
10 sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
11 accessing network connections. Many commonly used programs such as
12 the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
13 machine is not connected to any network. Unless you are working on
14 an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
15 want to say Y here.
16
17 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
18 called unix. Note that several important services won't work
19 correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module.
20
21 Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
