pcnfnd does **NOT** do record locking.  Pcnfsd is there to provide authentication
services for PCs, which obviously do not have normal login services and therefore
can't be trusted to provide a valid uid to nfs.

Pcnfsd is totally out of the loop once authentication has occurred, and therefore
PC/NFS has exactly the same set of file conversion services as ordinary Unix
NFS, inother words, none.
