I have severe problems with this, because NFS-Locking is not working
on FreeBSD-7.1 and later with HP-UX clients. See several PRs which are
talking about this. Same is true f=FCr FreeBSD-6.4. So all Releases
with kernel-supported NFS-Locking have problems with HP-UX clients.

FreeBSD-7.0 is the last release that is working and that is therefor
still productive at our site.

What do you recommend?
