It's not over NFS, as I believe that Sun Microsystems have (a) never clearly published their lockd/statd specs and (b) never really got them working properly themselves. I believe there is basic code to do this in -current, but the lockd is a dummy which just accepts all lock requests blindly and approves them, not doing any actual file locking on the server itself. A full implimentation is being worked on, but may be some time yet. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations. See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info
