I do see Rick from time to time at the bar, so if anybody has *specific* questions about things in the NFS code I can always group them up and go over things with Rick in person. He's pretty much "inaccessable" via email, but in person he occasionally gets interested and reveals some nuggets of information. :-) In general, he's not interested in helping FreeBSD in any way, since he thinks the code has become too "polluted" and "complicated" now. (which I would disagree with.. initial inspection by myself a while ago suggested that not much at all has really changed..) At any rate, if you find problems with *Rick's* code, I'd bet he'll fix it, if he still remembers any of it.. :-) As for any other help, as I said, give me a list of specific questions and I'll do my best to get answers. -Mark > -- > \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith > \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au > \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org > \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The Church says the earth is flat.
