I'm not arguing against making a coherent plan for setpag(). The linux kernel is moving in the direction of disallowing any added system calls, like setpag, or modified ones, like setgroups. Given this, it appears to me that we need to replace setpag with keyrings, and stop using the setpag system call. Chas has contributed some code that will help us do this, but has only gotten criticism in return.
I would not have a problem with seeing this code or something like it in the cvs head. It is clearly not a complete solution and I would not want it to move into 1.5 or 1.4 until we do have a coherent plan. But we've been talking about this for years with little or no forward movement. If some code appeared in cvs, at least we would have a starting point, and could talk about transition plans and compatibility issues. If we do nothing, there will be no pags in the linux client. Is that what we want? _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
