Gordon,

I see. This is bad.
In that case, do you have any solution or idea to take care this problem?

Vincent

Whenever you update the gdbm files, any server which has those files
open over NFS is probably going to get a stale file handle, and report a
read error.

For instance, if you update "smtpaccess.dat", any server using an NFS
mounted etc/courier is going to suddenly stop accepting mail, because
tcpd keeps smtpaccess.dat open.  It will get read errors when the copy
on the NFS server is replaced, and it will drop all incoming SMTP
connections, IIRC.
