- 1) lockd is an addon. It's normal to not have it. You may want to
- add it on, though.
-
- 2) The append failure is not a result of NFS. It's a result of a rather
- loose interpretation of the "a" and "a+" modes in POSIX 1003.1. You
- would be better off fixing the shell, or you're bound to repeat the
- performance later with some other box.
