Hi.
Which zephyr distribution are you using? It sounds like you
might have an old distribution, and I recommend you obtain
a newer one from athena-dist.mit.edu.
You will have to obtain the queue code (insque, remque) etc. from a
berkeley distribution (try anonymous ftp to ftp.uu.net). Random you
can probably use as rand(), or whatever your random number generator
is.
Actually, since you have random() in there (I assume this is in zhm,
right?), you probably do have the most recent snapshot. The random
function is just being used to randomly determine the next server to
try when you need to find a new server. This way you get a random
distribution across the servers to balance load.
If you have success, could you please forward patches to this
address? Thanks!
Hope this helps
