Remove the file descriptor passing hack from the options in httpd.
Easiest way to do this is probably just to uncomment the FD_NOPASS
define in the config.h file. Unfortunately this does mean that you
can't use the preforking method of running the server, but it does work
properly that way (eyelab is running ncsa's server).
This actually broke sometime around the 1.3.17 kernel version, but to
be honest, I don't know exactly what was done that caused it. However,
for the powers that be that know what they're doing when editing the
kernel source, I for one would sure like to see a method of passing
file descriptors to child tasks that would allow ncsa's preforked
method to work. I'm afraid the task of figuring out how to do it is
above me though :).
