Howdy, all. Anyone have a take on why the access time for the Maildir/cur directory would not be getting updated specifically on machines using Network Appliance boxen for disk storage (via NFS) when a user connects to POP mail? My take on qmail-pop3d is that it does opendir()/readdir()/ closedir() on Maildir/cur. Pretty simple. Should be enough to trigger an atime update .... So. When I run a 5-line C program that does exactly that and nothing more, and run it through tcpserver, atime gets updated. When I connect and complete a POP session it doesn't. I've tested this on FreeBSD 2.2.5-STABLE and 2.2.8-STABLE. When I run my little 5-line program or transact a POP session on a non-NetApp qmail-1.01 machine, atime gets updated. When I do both of those things on machines using NetApps for storage, it only gets updated with the 5-line program. Thoughts? I have that awful nagging feeling I missed some documentation somewhere, but beats me where. It seems fairly clear that I am not understanding the way qmail-pop3d works, even though the code looks pretty plain 'n simple. And yes, I'm planning to upgrade to qmail-1.03 soon. :) Brett --- Brett Rabe Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator - U S West Phone : 612.664.3078 Interact - 3S Pager : 612.613.2549 600 Stinson Blvd. Fax : 612.664.4770 Minneapolis, MN 55413 USA Pager : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Absolute zero is cool.
