Well, you might want to broaden your search. This is discussed fairly regularly. > rpc.lockd does not appear to work when the freebsd box is acting as an nfs > fileserver and a solaris 7 client attempts to lock a file (specifically > with cadence, a CAD app.) There is an experimental lockd implementation that works on a freebsd nfs server to issue locks. You can get a copy at http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/lockd-0.2a.tar.gz If you're going to run it on 4.2 you can ignore the xdr info, those updates have already been committed. Just run make and then you will have a lockd binary to play with. Keep in mind that this is experimental, but it's passed my tests so far. Also, this does not implement the ability for freebsd to request locks, it's a server only item. Good luck, Doug -- So what I want to know is, where does the RED brick road go? Do YOU Yahoo!?
