[Caml-list] Setting unix socket options.

[tom hawkins <tomahawkins@yahoo.com>]

Hello all,

I just started playing with sockets through Ocaml, but I'm 
having difficultly setting options on a socket.
I can get the options just fine (getsockopt), but
when I try to set an option I get "permission denied".
Here's my test code:

open Unix;;

let s = socket PF_INET SOCK_STREAM 0;;

let f () =
  setsockopt s SO_DEBUG true;;

let main () =
  if not (getsockopt s SO_DEBUG) then begin print_string "DebugOff"; print_newline () end;
  handle_unix_error f ();;

main ();;

Compiles fine.  Running produces this:

DebugOff
./server: "setsockopt" failed: Permission denied

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Tom
