<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=686572916-14082006>In order to support
High-Availability in OFED 1.1, we need more functionality to the srp

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=686572916-14082006>Based on your code I
implemented a new srp daemon (I listed its new features below) .

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=686572916-14082006>Since I think that
people may still want to use your original ibsrpdm, I think we should keep your
version and start a new tool from my code. What do you
think?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
