- It' obviosly a lockd related problem. I pop open my Console window, and
- for every attempt to lock the mailbox I get:
- lock-manager: RPC error: (9) RPC: Program/version mismatch
-
- Which is pretty strange, since the /etc/rpc and it's yellow page twin
- all show the same numbers. And the Sparc I's run dataless, so they are
- using the exact same copy of rpc.lockd as the server. weird.
-
- Hmmmm. I did apply a pile of patches to my 4.1.2, one of which was 100075-08,
- which claims to fix all the evils of rpc.lockd. Perhaps it is actually
- causing the problem in this case. I will revert to the old copy and see
- what that does.
