Hello,
This rpm is designed to fix the "Home Area in AFS" parentlock fix.

The problem is triggered when your home area is in AFS, and you use 
firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey.  Not always, but often, when you 
stop and restart firefox (or thunderbird, or seamonkey) the lock file, 
called parentlock, is not removed.  This makes it hard to start up your 
browser again.

Ftp:
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/30rolling/testing/i386/RPMS/browsers/SL_firefox_parentlock_fix-1.0-3.noarch.rpm
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/40rolling/testing/i386/RPMS/browsers/SL_firefox_parentlock_fix-1.0-3.noarch.rpm

Yum - S.L. 4.x
   yum --enablerepo=sl-testing install SL_firefox_parentlock_fix

The rpm has already been tested on several computers, and we believe it 
works well.  But we would like others to test it more before it goes out.

Thanks
Troy
