This isn't exactly a Moira problem; it's an NFS file server problem; but
I don't know where else to post it.
It appears in the mkcred program that the return value of dbm_store is
ignored. We have had some cases where a file system fills up on the server,
so the credentials file gets corrupted and nobody can attach a locker
from that server. Maybe this is no longer of interest anyway at MIT
with the switch to AFS; but in general I'd prefer that mkcred detect this
kind of problem and return an error status that would indicate a failure
in the Moira dcm update.
