At least 6.0 and -CURRENT. >Description: rpc.statd and rpc.lockd are required for proper NFS locking support on FreeBSD client systems. These can be started by adding respective rpc_statd_enable and rpc_lockd_enable lines to /etc/rc.conf. The rc.conf(1) manual page states that these options require system to be an NFS server, but this is not the case. /etc/rc.d/nfslocking requires either NFS server or NFS client (or nfsd). Also, enabling these options on NFS client cause the intended effect (working NFS locks). >How-To-Repeat: man rc.conf, look for above options. >Fix: Replace related descriptions from "and also an NFS server" to "and also an NFS server or client" >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
