In case this wasn't clear to whoever was thinking of doing the work: add a serialization barrier at the ncp_* layer. You can remove it later, without any other code being adversely affected, if you add a connection pool later. Note also that the credentials can be passed on the VC, if you don't mind not running on NetWare prior to 3.1b. I recommend this, since it means connection, but not credential, sharing between processes for threads in the work-to-do pool. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
