Hi Juergen,

The attached diffs are against the openca-0.9.2.2.tar.gz from

The best way is to checkout the CVS branch openca_0_9_2 from Sourceforge because this branch includes all fixes for 0.9.2.x. Additionally "diff -u" is recommended to help us handling merge trouble.

Problems: flock may not work on network devices.

... is this a real problem? Perhaps it is too late and I should go home :)

perldoc -f flock says
" Note also that some versions of 'flock' cannot lock things over the
network."

I don't have a file systems flock does not like, so I don't know how it
behaves and what error it returns (if any) if locking fails on a network
file system.

I never see a CA with NFS or something like this.

The attached lockit.pl can be used to test flock()-locking.

I think we should put this into contrib/ or scripts/ and add a note to the guide.

Greetings Michael
