Sockets and AF_LOCAL

Hi! I had two applications communicating through an internal socket created
using AF_LOCAL address family as the domain. It works in my development PC
w/ a full install. On our target w/ a small boot image it fails when trying
to open a socket for listening using AF_LOCAL. If I switch to AF_INET
everything is fine. Am I missing something on my image that is causing
AF_LOCAL to fail?

Thanks!!

QNX 6.2. I got the apps working together using AF_INET. If I switch to
AF_LOCAL I can’t open the listening socket. It works fine on my dev laptop.
Not on our target build.
