I'll try to and let you know.

That's a bug.  I have no idea what I was thinking.
Probably I edited the wrong file at some point.
Take it out.

I'm very interested in finding what the problem is here,
but I tried to reproduce it when you first reported it
and cannot.  Can you cull your setup down to a (small)
script that demonstrates the problem?  I don't really
care whether the script is small, just as long as it's something
self-contained so I can run it.

[9fans] replica/changes question and bug|my-own-mistake

[Fco.J.Ballesteros]

I see that it calls updatedb with `-u glenga'; as a result the
entries generated for my changes are `glenda nemo' and not `nemo nemo'.
Is that `-u glenda' really needed?

Another issue is that for me, a replica/push after a a replica/pull
would make a mistake and delete from the server all the stuff I pulled.
I think the reason is that despite a disk/kfscmd allow, the time
is not updated on the pulled file (a directory actually).

For example:
	replica/pull /replica/cfg/for/nemo/to/nemo1 	doc
	replica/changes /replica/cfg/for/nemo/to/nemo1 	doc
reports as a change that `doc' has been deleted in the client.

I think that the problem is that the pulled file ends up like this:
	d-rwxrwxr-x M 8 nemo nemo 0 May 23 19:28 /usr/nemo1/doc #now!
but the server version was:
	d-rwxrwxr-x M 23 nemo nemo 0 May  8 11:05 /usr/nemo/doc


The entries on both the client and server databases are:
	doc - 20000000775 nemo sys 1020848755 0
which I think correspond to the correct server's time for the file (May 8).

What's going on?
Any idea?

thanks
