Another question from the peanut gallery. The very same applications I spoke of in my previous posting are in need of some way to control concurrent access to a file in a remote (NFS) fs. They have been calling a simple interface function that uses flock, and it's pretty clear that this doesn't work (hey, I'm not a Sun guru, I just have to act like one :-( ). I can change the way the function tries to lock the file, but I don't know of any way to make it work. Can any of you suggest something for me? (Moving the file onto the client is not an option for physical security reasons, plus there are several clients banging on this file simultaneously which is why it needs to be locked in the first place.) Still trying to get it right, Phil Kos
