Hi Hans-Peter.

There have been some patches contributed for more recent 2.4 kernel
sources. They're currently attached to some bugs on
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla, but I'll find some place for them under the
downloads area. You should try the one with the latest kernel version.
It should be pointed out that more Linux users and vendors are moving
towards using DNotify rather than IMon, as it's available in the
standard kernel sources. Alex Larsson has made a patch to add DNotify
support. You can get it from the Red Hat FAM SRPMs, or wait until FAM
2.7.0, as I plan to integrate it.
I'm running home rolled KDE 2.2.2 diskless on linux nfs-v3 servers, based on
SuSE 7.3. They distribute fam-2.6.4 with imon disabled.
If FAM comes with IMon disabled, are they using another kernel file
monitor or are they polling?
I noticed, there are issues with fam and successive logins via kdm (killing
fam). I will try 2.6.7 now, and would like to know, if it is worth the hassle
of going through this: (and other known issues of fam/imon in my nfs world)
There was a problem in FAM where it was trying to chown from one
unprivileged user to another, and this was causing problems with
multiple users using FAM. This might be related to the problem you're
seeing, and was fixed in FAM 2.6.6. Perhaps try 2.6.7 or post the error
messages you're seeing.
Thanks for your message. Let us know how you go.
