 with it... I will ask around and see if I can get an answer from some
 of my C hacker friends. What exactly is it you need to know ? How to
 set these options via C - or via C# ? Or something else ?

+I think they've given you an answer right there - Solaris doesn't
+support those socket options. Is it that mono is crapping out on you
+at some point, or what? This isn't a C problem, anyway, it's language
+neutral.
+
+The solution is to work around setsocketopts() calls that mono is
+making and that are failing, I guess. If you want to see for yourself
+that Solaris doesn't support advanced socket options, you could try
+the getsocketopts program that was posted to the Samba list:

+
+According to http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-0218/6m6nirqnr?a=view,
+though, Solaris 9 doesn't support SO_RCVTIMEO or SO_SNDTIMEO, so if
+it's crucial that they're set, you're possibly stuffed.

+I THINK the only way do do what you're doing would be to have your app
+handle the timeout scenario (set up an alarm before reading/writing).

+
+Is it essential that these flags are set ? Is there any workaround, or
+will Solaris never be a supported platform for mono/XSP ?
