// Does anyone know what the state of rpc.lockd is in 2.2.5-STABLE?
It answers OK for every client requesting a lock, without testing
or getting a real lock. It's just a fake for clients that refuse
to work without NFS locks.
// On a slightly different note: How bad is NFS-mounting mailboxes from a
// FreeBSD NFS-server?

If your mail system needs lock, it a REAL MESS.
It'll appear to work perfectly, until you lose your first mailbox.
Now I use NFS for everything but mail. It safer to rsh to the mail
server, and read mail from there.
