Yes. It is coda-debug-server-5.3.2-1.i386.rpm (4467538 bytes).

"grep LOCK .../coda/config.h" gives:
#define HAVE_FCNTL_LOCKING 1
#define HAVE_FLOCK_LOCKING 1

However,

- As mentioned above, the version of coda I am running is not based
on a build but on an RPM.

- The build tree is not on the SCM but on some other machine, also
running RH 6.1, custom compiled kernel version 2.2.12-20.

Yes. As shown below,

(root) lamone /vice >ls -ld /vice/db
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         4096 Oct 20 17:54 /vice/db

Does this help? Ceki
