Subject: broken flock()
Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 13:02:59 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D1C96C3.9000500@blue-labs.org> (raw)

>From http://sendmail.org/

NOTE: Linux appears to have broken flock() again.  Unless
	the bug is fixed before sendmail 8.13 is shipped,
	8.13 will change the default locking method to
	fcntl() for Linux kernel 2.4 and later.  You may
	want to do this in 8.12 by compiling with
	-DHASFLOCK=0.  Be sure to update other sendmail
	related programs to match locking techniques.

Is it really broken or is sendmail smoking crack like when they said that itimers in Linux didn't work?

David
