Both with FreeBSD > as a client (and e.g. a sun as server), and FreeBSD as a server. Can't be done until someone actually implements the Sun lockd protocol. (At this point, Terry will beging flaming endlessly about implementation details of Sun's version.) There are sources (like one of the X/Open books) which claim to define the protocol, but I have not heard of someone yet successfully implementing something that completely interoperates with Sun hosts. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
