Hi,

Boaz: we do not any longer send a readdir index. We do send a

cookieverf.

Uhh... That would be so broken, that I can't imagine that is true...

I think you're misreading my statement. My intended meaning had to do with Ganesha's generator for the cookies themselves. It's not relevant.

cookie verifier (a LONG time ago) for a reason.

Bullshit... The cookie verifier is unimplementable. Feel free to try or
to show me an implementation that works. However I refuse to waste any
more of my time trying to make that crap work, having already wasted several months of my life doing just that.

There must be something I'm missing here, but ok.
