Hello,

i´ve some NFS filelocking problem between my SuSE 10.0 based clients and the
9.3 based server. /home is located on the server (with SuSE 9.3 and a recent
kernel (2.6.15)). The clients are equiped with SuSE 10.0 and the default 
2.6.13 kernel.

Applications which are using NFS filelocking on /home (examples: eclipse,
skype, banshee) are not working.

The server log shows the following message:

Dec 19 21:35:55 daolin kernel: lockd: cannot monitor 192.168.9.10

I know now (after googling for some minutes), that the reason for the message
is, that the lockd on the server cannot contact the status daemon on the
client site.

rpcinfo on Server/Client shows the following info:

    100021    4   tcp  32803  nlockmgr

i´m not sure but i think that status is the service which the server can´t
contact. There are no firewall rules active during my tests. 

I can telnet the tcp port for status from daolin. 

What looks strange for me are the high port numbers for lockmgr and status on
the client. 

I really don´t know what is wrong.

Greetings, Jörg
