Subject: Locking problem between SysV3.2 and FreeBSD NFS
Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I have a Motorola MPC200 computer in my job, running UNIX System V R32V3
(System V3.2.3). I loaded FreeBSD on a 486 pc and tried to use the PC hard
disk via NFS. Connection established. All work OK, but when a program
running on Motorola tries to lock the file from the PC, the program hungs. 
The Motorola prints on system console, udp_connect failed. Use and locking
with another Motorola (exactly the same systems) has no problems.
The user from the Motorola side is the root. No NIS or yellow pages are used.
Systems are identified by the /etc/hosts table, and .rhosts files. 
The directory from the PC side which is exported is anon=root, with rw for all.
The NFS mount from the Motorola side is hard mount, rw. Permissions
on the PC directory is 0666 for files and the directory itself.
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what is going wrong, and what 
is annoying, is the fact that with the same set of parameters the
two Motorola systems work very well. As the NFS is a standard method
of sharing disk resources, I think that it mustn't be a compatibility problem.
                              HELP WANTED BADLY....
Please reply to me by e-mail, 'cause some problem with a news server does not
pass all news of USENET to local server. Thus if you simply post article
your reply,
I may never read it. Thanks in advance...
