Re: SFS code-a-thon, Jan 21-22 in San Francisco area

Agenda for SFS Code-A-Thon:
1. Fix SFS on MacOS 10.4

Outcome:
1. Mission accomplished.

Based on grumbling at our merry code-a-thon:

1. Some OSs do not even support locking on a client, so we recommend  
a locking dot file as a workaround.
2. Dave thinks he has a workaround for SFS for MacOS 10.4.4 (Tiger).   
Yeah!  There appears to be a race condition in the darwin kernel  
whereby recvmesg returns an EOF instead of EAGAIN depending how fast  
suidconnect exits.  Try dm's latest fix in CVS and let us know if it  
works.

Cheers,
-Kevin
