	Well, still no luck in being able to ">>" (append) properly
	to a BSD partition NFS mounted to my Dell system.  Tried all
	sorts of different mount options, tried different shells, etc.
	Append works ok on a Novell 3.11 mounted NFS partition, and another
	SYSVR4 (AT&T) system.  Now, I have noticed that 386BSD is not
	running any sort of lock daemon, i.e. lockd.  Not even any mention
	of it in any of the man pages having to do with NFS.
	Is this normal?

	(BTW, the ">>" problem is that it overwrites the file, instead of
	appending to it.  Plays havoc with rkive when using the BSD system
	for archiving)

	That's the biz, sweetheart.
