libUCL / UCL as FreeBSD config question

[Dan Partelly]

Allan,

Thanks for clearing my confusion, and furthering my understanding on whats cooking on this front.

The tool is dandy. I have another issue I want to ask about:

concurrency. Is there any support in either uclib and the tools like uclcmd to ensure 
atomic access to the ucl files ? And not on advisory level, (although if utilities would respect 
adviasory looking … it would be better than nothing). I mean something on the lines
of mandatory locking. 

Was the question of concurrency discussed ?

Dan
