rsaix 7.3S: NFS

Date: Wed, 1 Apr 92 13:19:47 -0500
From: "Jonathan I. Kamens" <jik@pit-manager.MIT.EDU>
To: bugs@Athena.MIT.EDU

System name:		m4-035-19
Type and version:	POWER 7.3S
Display type:		graygda

What were you trying to do?
	Read the mail in /site/usr/spool/mail/jik on pit-manager,
	using emacs and movemail, over NFS from an RS/6000.

What's wrong:
	It doesn't work, I suspect because the file locking that
	movemail uses doesn't work over NFS from an RS/6000.  It works
	from VAX, RT and DECstation workstations, though.

What should have happened:
	The file locking should work properly from an RS/6000.
