If you are running the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions on Apache 1.3.6 on Digital Unix 4.0D with HTML files stored on NFS partitions, Fpcount.exe and Shtml.exe can be seen monopolizing portmap. The FrontPage Server Extensions use the Fcntl function to lock files. When the file is located on a network drive, the lock daemon makes calls through the RPC portmap to implement the lock on the remote NFS files.
Flock is for file locking locally which is implemented in the kernel.
Flock is a subset of Fcntl. You can also create a cron job that constantly checks for FrontPage processes the uses portmap excessively and kills the process. All rights reserved. Terms of Use. No Did not apply Please provide additional comments about this information.
