I've noticed in rc.conf that lockd is 'broken', and in reading the man
pages, I'm told that it's only broken when the NFS client is a FreeBSD box
as well.  What I have is a scenario where a windows app (which uses
file/record locking across its filesystem) exists at two remote locations,
and we have a FreeBSD box at each site.  I was thinking of mounting each
other's filesystems with NFS and then sharing those with Samba, but I take
it the locking won't work correctly.  Would simply running a Windows NFS
client on the workstations, running through the BSD gateway, solve the
problem?

TIA,

J.
