8570.0. "rpc.lockd was died abnormally with SCO UNIX" by TPOMC2::DAVIDHSIEH () Fri Jan 24 1997 04:20

    Hi,
    
    I need more help about DUNIX NFS with SCO UNIX.
    
    Does DUNIX support rpc.lockd with SCO UNIX 3.2.4? We have found the
    rpc.lockd was died abnormally. The DUNIX is V2.1 with
    patches.osf-v2.0-17nov95 rpc.lockd replaced.
    
    Does ACU COBOL support file/record locking with NFS operation? We need
    confirm it, because the ACU COBOL program can't open NFS mount files in 
    the DUNIX exported directory.
    
    Thanks in advance.

rpc.lockd should work.  However, it has never worked very well, at least not
until recently.  One of the problems in pre V3.0 code is a lack of
interlocking
with signal handlers that could cause your symptoms, but there are several
other possibilities.  A much better lockd is in the works as a patch, but
trying to port something to pre V3.0 kernels would be a major task.

Hmm.  perhaps not too major.  The biggest problem is that the KLM version
changed to support NFS V3.  It might be possible to modify the KLM code to
talk
the old version.
