Huh? BSD/OS's source drop has two locks in each socket and a couple of global locks for things like the inpcb and such, it's pretty fine grained except the unix domain sockets where a global lock is held to protect against lock order reversals when having to lock both sockets. -- -Alfred Perlstein [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
