A few of us are meeting up near Stanford Jan 21-22 for SFS code
hacking. If you would like to contribute to the coding, just
holler. We could also setup some kind of virtual conferencing.

It would be very nice to have proper locking so reading mail on
sfs-mounted volumes works.

Agenda for SFS Code-A-Thon:
1. Fix SFS on MacOS 10.4

Outcome:
1. Mission accomplished.

Based on grumbling at our merry code-a-thon:

1. Some OSs do not even support locking on a client, so we recommend
a locking dot file as a workaround.
2. Dave thinks he has a workaround for SFS for MacOS 10.4.4 (Tiger).
Yeah! There appears to be a race condition in the darwin kernel
whereby recvmesg returns an EOF instead of EAGAIN depending how fast
suidconnect exits. Try dm's latest fix in CVS and let us know if it
works.

1. Fix SFS on MacOS 10.4

I can't get what's in cvs to actually build on 10.4.4. Any idea what the problem
might be? I'm using gcc4 from xcode.

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../async -I../crypt -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/local/include -I.. -I../arpc -I../sfsmisc -I../sfsrodb -I../adb -I../svc -I../svc -DEXECDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/sfs-0.8pre\" -DETCDIR=\"/etc/sfs\" -DDATADIR=\"/usr/local/share/sfs\" -DPIDDIR=\"/var/run\" -DSFSDIR=\"/var/sfs\" -g -O2 -Wall -c aio.C -MT aio.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/aio.TPlo -o aio.o
aio.C: In member function `void aiod::fail()':
