You're supposed to be able to monitor NFS mounted files, either by your
FAM server contacting a remote FAM server, or by polling the files.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to get either of those options to work
properly. ("FAM not notifying of non-local changes on NFS file",
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/mail_archive/200304/msg00007.html).
If you do get anything like this running, I'd love to know about it,
because it would be helpful for us! Thanks.

I'm not that familiar with the code, but I know that the documentation
does talk about the fam daemon contacting fam daemons on other machines to
monitor NFS mounted files. Therefor fam daemons can talk to each other but
I doubt that clients can do it. I think one way that the daemon does
security is that it only talks to connections coming from secure port(s).

Hi,
I know that the fam library uses rpc messages to connect to the fam daemon.
Is it possible to connect to a fam daemon on a remote machine (i.e., a
machine that is not localhost)?
>From looking at the code, it appears to me that this is not possible, since
FAMOpen2 constructs the client like this:
fc->client = new Client(LOCALHOSTNUMBER, famnumber, famversion);
where LOCALHOSTNUMER is
#define LOCALHOSTNUMBER 0x7f000001 // Internet number for loopback.
thanks
