raw socket...

[Basavaraj Hiremath]

 Hi,
 I am writting an example program, to create a raw
 socket on Fedora Core Linx.
 
 When I create socket, my linux sustem crashes. I
 need to powerdown the system. I am running this 
program as super user to create raw socket.
 
 Following line crashes..
 rawSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_RAW);
 
 Any insight on this will be great help.
 
 Thanks & regards,
 Raj
