Hello, I have a question about file locking on FreeBSD is implemented. In Solaris there is a "lockd"-deamon which is consulted and that handles locking both locally and across nfs mounted volumes. How is network file locking implemented in FreeBSD? We have some problems with some mail programs that try to lock the mailbox (which is nfs mounted on a FreeBSD machine from a SunOS machine). I also notice that it is not possible to lock a device. How is this done? Yours sincerely, -- Jesper Hagen Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Aalborg University, Denmark.
