Hello, We are in the process from moving from ATT RFS to ISC NFS and have hit as not so inconsiderable snag. RFS makes all the filesystems appear as a homogeneous whole. As part of this, it ( tries ) to sync the times on various boxes. Usually the times are close enough that if you "make" a file on a remote file system the mod. times are synched to the local boxes time. In NFS , things appear differently. NFS isn't concerned with keeping the boxes times in sync. A file recently modified on a remote file system might seem old, and make will say "nothings been changed". Has anybody else out there had to deal with this problem? Any quick hacks around it? Thanks for your help. Will

You mean besides the basic snag of moving to a lousier network, right? -- War is like love; it always \%\%\% Tom Neff finds a way. -- Bertold Brecht %\%\%\ tneff@bfmny0.BFM.COM
