Hi,
Since nvi is hard to come by, here is a little program to mimic the behavior
of nvi on any file you care to try...
usage: locklogin file_to_lock
It first tries POSIX locking and then does BSD flavor. It seems that it is
BSD after all that is causing the trouble...
Best wishes
Andrew
#!/bin/csh -f
# Uuencoded gz-compressed file created by csh script uufiles
# For more info (11/95), see e.g. http://xxx.lanl.gov/faq/uufaq.html
# If you are on a unix machine this file will unpack itself: strip
# any mail header and call resulting file, e.g., locklogin.uu
# (uudecode ignores these header lines and starts at begin line below)
# Then say csh locklogin.uu
# or explicitly execute the commands (generally more secure):
# uudecode locklogin.uu ; gunzip locklogin.c.gz ;
# On some non-unix (e.g. VAX/VMS), first use editor to change filename
# in "begin" line below to locklogin.c-gz , then execute
# uudecode locklogin.uu
# gzip -d locklogin.c-gz
#
uudecode $0
chmod 644 locklogin.c.gz
gunzip locklogin.c.gz
rm $0
exit
begin 644 locklogin.c.gz
