Well, that sure simplifies the problem of running your program. ;)
day of the EuroBSDcon.
and locking does indeed work. (At least, vi didn't show the word "UNLOCKED"
in the bottom line after I enabled rpc.lockd)
However, I had some starting problems with rpc.lockd.
Aparently it requires that rpc.statd also is running. Since I didn't had these things
enabled in rc.conf, I started them manually. rpc.lockd quits silently without logging
anything about what happened.
The manualpage does mention that rpc.lockd " typically runs in conjunction with
rpc.statd" As I don't see a direct requirement in this line, I didn't realize it was required.
HTH,
