Is this not currently possible in FreeBSD for some reason?
Since I didn't get a response to this question before, I figured I'd just call attention to it again. Does anyone know of any reason there shouldn't be a version of www/flock newer than 1.0.2 in ports? For reference, the version in ports is still 0.7_7, which seems absurdly old, considering the Flock project is up to 1.1 now. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);
