chuckr@glue.umd.edu said: :- Samy, are you using NFS to mount the mail sppol directories? Since :- nfs locking isn't in a very good condition, it's almost guaranteed to :- fail. The mail directories are accessed bot for mail delivery and mail :- pickup, and reliable locking is a top requirement. But... I am doing this without *any* problems with FBSD 2.1.[567], where the mail spools are served by a Solaris system. I was going to upgrade a bunch of systems to 2.2-release, but now I'm worried. IMO, This *must* be made to work at least as well as it does in 2.1.[567]. And suggesting doing this another way is a non-starter, since in this >1000 system shop, they aren't going to change things 'cause a dozen or so FreeBSD systems get gas. They barely tolerate me as it is... (Hell, I only got them to NIS-serve AMD maps because they wanted to try out AMD on some *sun* systems...) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
