Hi all, Got a question for all you RFS gurus out there. We have a file mounted with read/write access across three ATT 3B2/600 machines through RFS. Is there a way to provide mutual exclusion for the file? (Let as many people as necessary read it, but only allow one to be updating). I've messed with the "lock" bit on files, but that doesn't seem to work in this case. Oh yea, we're running 3.2.2 System V with version 3 of both RFS and TCP/IP WIN. Any hints or explanations of this subject, or mutual exclusion procedures for files under Un*x in general would be vastly appreciated. Please send all replies by e-mail to thall%spacecom.spacenet-gw.af.mil@server.af.mil Thanks in advance. Mr. Tim C.
