One important note is that the "--with-uds" configure option is *not*  
used to enable the UNIX domain socket support for consoles (in  
particular, for use with VMWare Server, GSX, etc.).  The "--with-uds"  
option is to use UNIX domain sockets between the "console" client and  
the "conserver" server.  Here's the excerpt from "configure --help":

  --with-uds[=DIR]
                          Use Unix domain sockets for client/server
                          communication [/tmp/conserver]
