I hope you can help me!

I just discovered the wonders of freeBSD after years of slaving over SCO boxes. I'm currently arranging the migration of a departmental NFS server from SCO to two BSD boxes.

The NFS clients are on PCs and Macintoshes, so I installed the pcnfs daemon from the BSD packages. This works fine. Trouble is, the PC software wants to lock active files over the net. I can't find any reference anywhere for a "lockd" daemon for the BSD NFS implementation. Neither is there an entry for it in the inetd.conf file. Can you clue me in on this? Does BSD unix not do this at all?

Best Regards,

Robin.
