9	  If you say Y here, you will include support for Unix domain sockets;
10	  sockets are the standard Unix mechanism for establishing and
11	  accessing network connections.  Many commonly used programs such as
12	  the X Window system and syslog use these sockets even if your
13	  machine is not connected to any network.  Unless you are working on
14	  an embedded system or something similar, you therefore definitely
15	  want to say Y here.
16
17	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be
18	  called unix.  Note that several important services won't work
19	  correctly if you say M here and then neglect to load the module.
20
21	  Say Y unless you know what you are doing.
