Very Computer

Hey there ppl.

I'm sure someone knows this but again, I'm pretty clueless. (how unusual. :-)

Anyway, I'm calling a program through inetd.conf & services etc.

No problems so far.

The thing is that I NEED the program I'm calling to know WHO is calling it.

Functions like getpeername() expect you to open & bind local sockets, so
I guess those are useless.

----------------------------------------

So I guess my question is: How can a program "see" where it is getting
a TCP connection from if it's invoked by telnetd.

-- A small code example would be great.
-- Just a function-name would be just as cool.

Thank you,
