[OpenAFS-devel] any way to get the fileserver to give up on a client after a whil e?

[Chaskiel M Grundman]

Actually, yes. Delta 
rx-protect-servers-from-half-reachable-clients-20020119 does precisely 
this, in the rx layer. Personally, I would have favored doing it in the 
fileserver instead, since it's the only thing that makes rpc's in response 
to rpc's, but I didn't write the code.
