Hi there,

	I'm using FreeBSD machines and one of them is a /var/mail
	file server through NFS.  From other FreeBSD machines,
	lockf() works well in MH (with compile option LOCKF),
	but a Sun SPARC fails.  Isn't there compatibility between
	FreeBSD (2.1.0-951005-SNAP) and SunOS (4.1.3) lockf()s?
	And should we give up locking from SunOS client?

thanks,
