: I didn't like the task from the very begining because of the lack of focus. If it's about maintaining a database, then it should include all basic operations: adding record, removing record, replacing existing record, and record lookup. If it's about concurrent writing to a file, the passwd-like record requirement is unnecessary complication (colon-separated strings are pretty uninteresting anyway). I think it's worthwhile to have a task that demonstrates concurrent file access, and the simpliest thing is ask for implementations of whole file or file-region locking with fixed length, random-access records. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 00:11, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
