Is freeware safe?
Hi there,
I am posting this from my desktop (XP Home Edition) which has Norton I.S 2009 which will soon expire. I also have a laptop I was given which runs on vista home premium (recent clean install) which I have not yet used.
I have a LinkSys wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway router and I was wondering if some of the free firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spyware software would be a suitable replacement for Norton and which ones to choose.
Sorry for the naive question as I am not a computer techie

Hi,
I am Solaris 9 developer and notice that the documentation does not provide a clear notion of the inherent concurrency in routines defined as "Async-Signal-Safe".
Routines defined as "MT-Safe" obviously have the best level of concurrency, compared to normal "Safe" interfaces.

pam_mount
pam_mount(8) BSD System Manager's Manual pam_mount(8)
NAME
pam_mount -- Home Folder Mounting PAM module
SYNOPSIS
[service-name] function-class control-flag pam_mount [options]
DESCRIPTION
The Home Folder Mounting PAM module supports the authentication and session management function classes. In terms of the function-class
parameter, these are ``auth'' and ``session'' respectively.
The Home Folder Mounting Authentication Module
The Home Folder Mounting authentication module reads the mount authenticator from the PAM authentication context and caches it in the PAM
environment. The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module must be used in conjunction with this module to remove the authenticator
from the PAM environment.
The Home Folder Mounting Session Management Module
The Home Folder Mounting session management module copies the mount authenticator from the PAM environment, removes it from the PAM environ-
ment, and uses its copy to mount the user's home folder if the user's OpenDirectory record indicates that an AFP, SMB, NFS or FileVault home
folder is to be used.
When the session is closed, the Home Folder Mounting session management module unmounts the user's home folder if it was mounted by this mod-
ule when the session was opened.
