To be honest I don't know. I haven't used it myself but only read the
manpages. (Since I only use NFS between FreeBSD boxes and they don't support
client-side locking it seems pointless to have it on the server.)

That comment does seem to imply that something is broken but then the
manpage really should say something about that. (This might of course
indicate that the manpage isn't in sync with reality.)

Somebody who knows what is up with rpc.lockd is welcome to comment.
