I accidentally deleted the post regarding errors in a chrooted NCSA
server, so I'm replying to the list.
Most likely you need /dev/spx, which is used for duplicating file
descriptors. Alternatively, the server may be creating UNIX domain
sockets or named pipes in some absolute path, but I imagine its
/dev/spx... what OS is it?

Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most
automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gage, nor any of the
numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the
driver makes any mistake, a giant "?" lights up in the center of the
dashboard. "The experienced driver", he says, "will usually know
what's wrong."
