Eventually the processes will be fighting each other for CPU but a couple of instances should be OK. Each local client waits up to 1 second before returning, to make sure that timestamps are unique... if you're running a lot of short commands it can seem quite slow because of that. > Further more is it safe to use the local protocol localy on the server while > others are accessing the repository via the remote protocols? As long as you're using the same lockserver it should work. Tony
