Communicated with Bill Pemberton (elm maintainer, flash) and did further investigation. It appears that NFS locking had at some point been turned off on my clients; with statd/lockd running on the clients properly elm works. That fixes my main problem. He also told me that elm-2.5.3 (unreleased) has included a fix similar to the one I included above for the Configure script in 2.5.2. I did not look at the SRPM to see if the change is also there. Locking seems to have changed from RH 5.2 (dot-locks only) to fcntl only -- if there's no reason not to, it might be good to configure both dot-locking and fcntl support. The goal since Red Hat 5.2 has been to use *only* fcntl locking in MTA/MUA. elm-2.5.3 is in Raw Hide and will be in Red Hat 6.2, and contains a patch identical to yours above. |
