Right. But I think it would be desirable to do other things -- for example, a program might want to forward one token over to a daemon to do some work. It doesn't make much sense here to have a hierarchial structure. BTW, does AFS even have this hierarchy, or does pagsh just create a copy? I can't find any manpage for it... --Andy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
