Re: Better FD for the host-side portal code?

I saw that the host-side portal code uses FD 0 for the listening socket. Would it be better to use a different file descriptor for that? Alternatively, I can dup() /dev/null over stdin.

FD 0 is used on purpose. This is inetd-style socket activation, a standard interface supported by service managers.
