I serve NFS off of a linux box to a 2 sun3s, a sunos-sun4, and a
laptop. I recently found a problem from the Sunos machine - certain
code I'm working with uses fcntl() file locking, which hangs "forever"
attempting to talk to the linux box. Has anyone written either
1) a lockd that "works" (nah, sun hasn't even done that :-)
2) a lockd that returns success for every call? (I'm not 100%
sure this will do the right thing, but it's worth a try.)
Thanks...
