I just recently discovered a bug in our copy of the V2
file access demo (transparent file access to BSD 4.2
machines) which I've fixed with some help from Jim
Rees of Apollo, the original author of the demo. The
bug was that every time a file was edited with the
Display Manager the owner ship of the file would be
determined by which node you were logged into, not by
who you had logged in as. The ownership of the DM seemed
to be determined by who was the first person to log
into the node after the node had been booted. This bug
is apparently due to the way the DM interacts with
the unix getuid call. Anyhow, Jim found away around the
problem and I have patched our V2 sources. If anyone
else has run into this bug and wants the patch, send
ne mail and I will mail you back the sources.
