I am considering using FreeBSD 2.0 as an NFS server for
some light-duty shared database applications. Does the 
FreeBSD 2.0 implementation of NFS properly handle
file/record locking with NLM/rpc.lockd? A little while 
back I would have thought the answer is "of course", but
since then I've been bitten...

Thanx in advance.
