Yes. My l2tp daemon is still single threaded internally, so it uses an rpc through the threads to open UDP, netlink and L2TP sockets, then manages everything from the main event loop. The thread has to be kept around to keep the namespace's task id alive in case one wants to move anything in/out of the namespace. -ben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
