Using spiped with a FIFO

[Peter Waller <p@pwaller.net>]

Hi All,

Not realising the difference between a unix socket and a fifo I tried 
setting `spiped`'s `-t` parameter to a named pipe.

Unfortunately spipe just exits and spiped appears to do nothing in this 
case. strace reveals that it tries to connect() to the fifo which isn't 
allowed:

> connect(8, {sa_family=AF_FILE, 
path="/home/pwaller/tmp/spiped/testfifo"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED 
(Connection refused)

Any chance spiped could support writing to a fifo or is this fraught for 
some reason?

Thanks,

- Peter
