Ok, so it sounds like you now understand that STAF handles are associated
with each STAFProc instance running on a machine. When a STAF service
request is submitted to a remote machine, information about the
handle/machine that originated the request is provided in the request
information, including user authentication information if the handle has
been authenticated, but STAF handles themselves are not "shared". Each
STAFProc instance has it's own STAF handles (with handle 1 always assigned
to STAFProc itself).

"HandleManager::updateTimestamp() failed to update handle"
Hi Sharon, and thanks for taking the time.
Well I don't have problems with delegating as such, it clearly works
in itself; the delegated service receives the requests as expected.
I use a static handle because I need to use user trust, and I think I
must have misunderstood the way this works. I had the idea that when I
authenticated a user against a handle, then this authenticated handle
would be a sort of network wide "security token" that would be
transported around all over the place, in a sense.
What happens in my setup is that a request starts on, say, fox, as a
request to my service on local. This is forwarded to a central server,
hag, where it is interpreted and as a result a number of other service
requests are sent out to other servers. I have assumed that I could -
or should - do this using the same handle all the way, but I realise
now that this is probably wrong.
In fact, I have since tried it with tracing turned on, and I can see
that the message comes from hag, not from fox.
