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) -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now?
