- Good luck:-). This is indeed one of the major pains with TFS; I "solved"
- it by having root's crontab do periodic 'find's in the TFS tree, thereby
- creating any missing directories and their .tfs_info files. This was in
- a case where the "underlying" directory structure would change from time
- to time, don't know if you have that problem (and if you ever *replace*
- directories there, TFS will be very confused) - nor if you really want
- all those directories under /usr/openwin/include...
-
- Anyway, I hear TFS is going away as of Solaris 2.x - too bad, I think,
- it is quite "interesting"...
