Hey There..,
	 I'm writing some networking programs 
in  Sun Sparc 2(SUNOS 4.1.2) using Sockets. 
   The problem :

   The server.. (serves some clients).
   The Clients are connected to the server using 
       sockets .. Internet Domain
		  Strem Socket
   Now,
      The server has to know the status
      of the socket.. in essence the validity of
      the socket. i.e if there is any error
      in the socket, the server has to take some actions

So to test the socket, i used poll to find
POLLERR.. didin't help
then i tried ioctl and select.. 
not much improvement
Can anyone help me

Thanks in advance
Senthil
