    Friends,
        I don't know if I'm behind times so forgive me if
    somebody has already brought this one up. In writing
    sys V init scripts for mkiss I discovered that mkiss
    didn't write the right PID to it's lock files. I am
    using mkiss from ax25-tools-0.0.8. I traced the
    trouble down to the the simple fact that mkiss writes
    its locks files before it becomes a daemon. I moved
    the lock file code just after the daemon code, which
    is fairly close, and all is well.
            Anyway, just thought I'd mention that. Also,
    I noticed that mkiss and kissattach do not clean up
    their lock files when they are killed. Changing
    things to do this could affect quite a bit of the
    code--if you want to keep things efficient.
            I'm new to linux, so if I'm all fuzzed over
    just ignore me.

    regards,
