I just noticed that if a process on an NFS client exec()s a file that lives on an SGI NFS server, the file's atime doesn't get updated! Is this a botch by SGI (i.e. does the NFS spec require that the atime be updated, but IRIX simply doesn't do it), or is the question of whether a server is meant to update the atime discretionary? SunOS NFS servers do update atime on exec() from a client. Mark Bartelt 416/978-5619 Canadian Institute for mark@cita.toronto.edu Theoretical Astrophysics mark@cita.utoronto.ca
