Re: trouble using sfsagent in MacOS 10.4 Tiger

Sorry, no dice.  The "arg marshaling" problem does not appear.   
Compiling with no optimization whatsoever (env DEBUG=-g ./configure)  
results in the same problem:

# /usr/local/sbin/sfscd -d
sfscd: version 0.8pre, pid 21877
sfscd: not dropping privileges for debugging
nfsmounter: version 0.8pre, pid 21880
nfsmounter: mounted /sfs
nfsmounter: mounted /sfs/.mnt/wait
sfsrwcd: version 0.8pre, pid 21878
sfsrocd: version 0.8pre, pid 21879


$ sfsagent [email protected]
sfsagent: EOF from sfscd
sfsagent: exiting

Maybe I'll have the joy of running into that problem once I figure  
out this EOF of sfscd.  My SFS client and server are using code from  
CVS several months apart --- so it could be something as simple as a  
protocol mismatch.  Will keep looking.

Cheers,
-Kevin
