I tried the time service not via telnet but simply replacing "ftp" with "time". This was not a good test but the while loop was escaped. Meanwhile I reached page 111. Here we find two network programs. I tested a program similar to the second by activating Apache. I do not have Oracle installed, so I can not test the first. But I found a simple complete program in socket level in page 480. When I tested it, I got the error message. unixsock.rb:11: in `open': Connection refused - "/tmp/sample." By the way, threads are discussed in the next chapter. If you would modify and divide it, then I think I could make the server program a daemon by "ruby server.rb &."
