https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=233578 --- Comment #9 from Ed Schouten <ed@FreeBSD.org> --- No, that's not the case. The code does more than simply write a record into the file at a certain offset. It also reads entries to determine what the offset is at which the record should be placed. It's insufficient to replace this code by something that doesn't use file locking. There may be race conditions in which you end up overwriting recently created login session entries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
