He's totally right, but if the quota file gets screwed up, it's really no big deal. It gets deleted and recreated. It's a simple way that self-corrects when the file gets hosed, which is about the best you can hope for over NFS. --Doug
[vchkpw] maildir++ patch broken?
Just read this on the qmail mailing list: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmail&m=106355226521299&w=2 o k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Then I patched it: > cd qmail-1.03 > patch < qmail-maildir++.patch Don't. "maildir++" is broken by design and violates the letter and spirit of the maildir specification; it also makes the maildir unsafe for use over NFS without locking, which is one of the basic reasons for the existence of maildir.
