There is a fully functional (from what I can tell) statd. I am hacking on the lockd, but since I am on vacation, I haven't been doing much. I have posted the necessary kernel patches for proxy identification in the past, and there is one minor patch for the NFS handle to open fd translation to get it registered as a callback for a loadable NFS module. More on it as things develope. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
