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