About the test [ ! -a $line/<filename> ] It is just checking to see if the file is there. If there is a file there, I am assuming that we don't want to mess with it. I also figure that if the file is there, then the directory is there. [ -d "$line" -a ! -e "$line/%{cleanscript}" ] Although your solution is more thorough, it just seems redundant, doing two checks instead of one (unless I'm reading it wrong). > I've put up a a slightly hacked version here: > http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/parentlock/ > > Cheers, > Stephan > > On Mon, 18 Sep 2006, Troy Dawson wrote: > >> 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.
