"My" rpcbind (which is mostly SUN code) does: unlink(savefile); fopen(savefile); Thus, the time window is small. Moreover, you get only one chance; once rpcbind is gone, someone has to restart it by hand. I figure that if you slow down the file system enough, and fill up the open file table, there will be a way to sneak in. The fix is to open the save file with the O_EXCL flag set. I'm about to leave for a week. I'll see if I can get out an update today, otherwise it will have to be a week later. Wietse
