Server side, courier can use fam as well, so although there are not a lot of programs that use dnotify directly, there are a lot that can use it indirectly, and will fall back to polling on a non-dnotify system. I don't know if the famd people like it or not though ;-) Cheers, Paul --=-fKRkDd2lImlix44hmEdV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBANV2ztch0EvEFvxURAuKBAKClsSCHdmeZha/r1yO+srbx2wUBbQCgmUbU fuDRVbnVfG/vC0xpp+xnKlY= =pDsK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-fKRkDd2lImlix44hmEdV--
