Thanks for the 'patches' to the modules! > 1. Update Authen::Smb like so: > > use Fcntl qw(:flock); > ... > open S, "> /full/path/to/AuthenSmb.lck" or > die "Can't open AuthenSmb.lck: $!\n"; > flock S, LOCK_EX; > my $res = Valid_User($username, $password, $server, $backup, $domain); > close S;
What happens, if two or more users are trying to access at the same time? As I understood this piece of code, will the first request lock the file and all other requests at almost the same time are dropped. This seems not very secure to me, or did I understand something wrong? Wouldn't it make more sense, to create a file ie with the username's MD5 hash and then flock this one? -mathias- -- Reporting bugs: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html
