I've been having horrible troubles getting fcntl() file locking to work.
I gather from various remarks that lockd is known to be pretty flakey, and
I'm not encouraged by knowing that our workstations are Suns but our file
server is a Vax running Ultrix.  Does anyone know what the quality of the
various lockd implementations are, and whether there are known problems
with mixing Suns and Ultrix's in this regard?
