hello.
sorry if the message gets duplicated.

I read a while ago of some security issues on doing checks on files before
opening, wich is harmfull if the program is suid.

But i dont remember what to do about it.
can someone refresh it to me?
is there anyway you can lock a file access and tell the kernel? and what
would happen if the program crashes without unlocking the file?

bye bye
