Help Needed Regarding Project in File Locking.
hai guys,
I'am a newbie to this forum and to unix as well...as a part of our syllabus i got a project in Unix which i have to do in 4 days.Project is kinda File locking i will give the project specs...guys please help me..

Established client-server architecture using socket programming.
The client can be of two types:
1)Administrator
Who has the authority to make some amendments.
Take care for authentication.

2)Cllient
Who can just read the record.

The data of interest is the Employee-details.The request query should be employee ID.
The request is processed depending on the type of request (read/write) & the lock acquiring the record at that time.


The Employee-details structure:

1.Employee name
2.Employee ID
3.Salary
4.BU
5.Time stamp (time of last access)

Everytime a request is made by the client the time stamp should be displayed when this record was last accessed.


Advance Thanks to all geeks out here..
