0009 If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
0010 sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
0011 accessing network connections. Many commonly used programs such as
0012 the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
0013 machine is not connected to any network. Unless you are working on
0014 an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
0015 want to say Y here.

0017 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
0018 called unix. Note that several important services won't work
0019 correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module.

0021 Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
