This doesn't seem worse than the GetStats approach, and makes a certain amount of additional sense. It doesn't catch all cases, but it catches the common case where someone builds the code without changing anything or doing anything special. It also does not affect other potential implementations and avoids implicit relationships between otherwise unrelated parts of the protocol. At least, in theory; it obviously ties the RX version response to GUACB behavior but I think that makes it very very obvious that it's a minor implementation-specific quirk. I'm unsure of the reliability of rx version packets, though. And the existing libraries I think make this more annoying and involved than a regular RXAFS call, which makes this much less appealing... -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
