[MUD-Dev] Question for the list (Semi-OT)

[Nathan F Yospe]

I've been trying to wrangle the solution to a problem for ages - I've heard
of, but never located, an application that's supposed to have the capacity,
but... there's a lot of knowledgeable people on this group. Maybe you know.

It's mud related, at least for me, but a minor technical detail.

What I'm looking for is a way, on a generalized unix platform, to track the
process that is currently binding a descriptor to a socket, and return that
process's pid, without su access...

For example, while on the host machine, I'd like to be able to make a call,
int p_id = get_owner(short portnum); Where I say p_id = get_owner(5000). It
seems like there should be some way to recover this, but... *shrug*
