Bug#637697: sockets don't work through nullfs mounts
Package: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64
Version: 8.1+dfsg-9
Severity: normal
Forwarded: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/159663
When mounting a filesystem that contains a socket with nullfs, a new instance of
the socket is generated. Processes listening on one instance of this socket do
not respond to connect() requests on the other instance.
This breaks running X11 clients inside a chroot, as discussed in:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2011/08/msg00089.html
