 I have tried to enable both rpc.lockd and rpc.statd on FreeBSD. The
 Linux file server runs rpc.lockd in kernel mode and rpc.statd is running
 as well. Now any program that requires file locking simply hangs on FreeBSD.
 
 I verified this using bogofilter -s < ~/Mail/spam, or just mutt -f
 ~/Mail/spam.
 
 If you do a strace on it, it hangs on fcntl(..., O_FSETLK, ...)
 
 Currently, I am using nolockd in /etc/fstab as a workaround.

 Shao.
