In response to your previous message about getting people to test this,
I'm not sure what exactly I can test here. Here is my scenario, tell me
if I can help. I have many freebsd machines acting as nfs clients to
access data on a combination of sun and netapp nfs servers. If I set up
this version of rpc.lockd on the freebsd clients will it lock the files
on the servers so that only one client at a time can access them?
(Assuming of course that the code I'm working with is properly
requesting a lock...)
I will be happy to help, but I need to know in more detail what I'm
testing, how you need it tested, what is the likelihood of success and
what kind of feedback you're looking for.
Glad to hear that progress is being made anyway,
Doug
