Sorry for bothering all you great kernel guru's. But I have a
simple problem I can't solve and I couldn't find any answers in the
docs/ on irc either.

What I want is really quite simpel:
I want todo a blockingread on a connectionless socket, with a timeout of
letts say 5 seconds.

I've tried usign select before the read to use select's timeout but
select doesn't seem to
respond to available data on connectionless sockets.

One last problem it would be nice if it ran under just about any unix.

Regards,

Hans
