[comp.protocols.appletalk] DenyMode modifications to aufs

scooter@genie.UUCP (Scooter Morris) (08/23/90)

Hi,
	Genentech is a large user of aufs for Berkeley Unix.  We have
	made the following additions/enhancements to aufs:

	1) Addition of record locking for a 4.3bsd system.  This
	   involves a separate library and a server to maintain
	   all of the locking information.
	
	2) Addition of the Deny Mode bits for Open.  This turned
	   out to be very important for programs like FileMaker.
	
	If anyone is interested in these I would be happy to send
	them diffs to aufs and a shar file of the user-mode locking
	stuff for 4.3bsd.
