I hope someone can help me!

I just discovered the wonders of freeBSD after years of slaving over SCO
boxes. I'm currently arranging the migration of a departmental NFS server
from SCO to two BSD boxes.

The NFS clients are on PCs and Macintoshes, so I installed the pcnfs daemon
which works fine. Trouble is, the PC software wants to lock active files
over the net. I can't find any reference anywhere for a "lockd" daemon for
the BSD NFS implementation. Can someone clue me in to this?

Best Regards,

Robin.
