Thanks for your comments Harry. But before you launched into your
overreactive rant, maybe you should have read a weee bit further
where I offered the user a solution to the issue. I have reposted it
for you reference.
<REPOST>
Anyway, get the source, and the change needs to be made in the
makefile for linux, which is in
netatalk-1.4b2+asunxxx/sys/linux/Makefile
add
DEFS= -DUSE_FLOCK_LOCKS
and recompile.
done.
