Does A/UX have update functionality (i.e., sync's every x seconds)??
I realize that it doesn't have the update daemon like BSD UNIX's do, but
it may be compiled in the kernel... is it? I have written an update
daemon which does this for me, but I'm wondering if it's overkill...
Also, assuming you have LOTS of memory, is there any real harm is setting
up NBUF to some huge number (like 5000 and above)??

If you want it more often than that, then yes, use your daemon. Dave Payne A/UX Engineering, Apple Computer davep@apple.com
