'k, based on someone else's recommendation, I add 'nolockd' to the mount
entry,a nd postfix now appears to work ... since I can safely guarantee
that only the one host will have access to these files, that doesn't pose
a porblem for me, but still find it a weird issue all things considered :(

I'm trying to simulate a diskless boot of FreeBSD, as am looking at moving to
a more 'thin client' environment, using a Netapp as a filer to provide the
file systems for FreeBSD front ends ...
To simulate this, I have two servers, both running 7-STABLE, one acting as
the nfs server (ie. simulated netapp), and the other the client ...
Both servers have a private and a public IP ... the nfs traffic is over the
private network ...
Initially, had issues with lockd that I got resolved ...
Settings in /etc/rc.conf on server are:
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpcbind_flags="-h 192.168.1.9"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
mountd_enable="YES"
mountd_flags="-r -h 192.168.1.9"
nfs_server_flags="-u -n 8 -h 192.168.1.9"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
Settings in /etc/rc.conf on the client are:
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpcbind_flags="-h 192.168.1.1"
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
===
/etc/fstab on the client has:
192.168.1.9:/vm /vm nfs rw,noauto,intr 0 0
/etc/exports on the server has:
/vm -network 192.168.1.0/24 -maproot=0 -alldirs

Now, to simulate the diskless, I built a jail on top of the mounted /vm ...
that worked fine ...
I have several applications built and installed on it ... primarily, apache
2.2 and postfix 2.7.x ...
Apache 2.2 + mod_fcgi + php 5.3.6 *appears* to work fine ...
Postfix, on the other hand, generates the error message in the subject line
when I try and run 'mailq':
postfix/showq[19805]: fatal: select lock: Permission denied
Since the handbook as a section on diskless boot in Chapter 31:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-diskless.html
I assumed / hoped that things would run just fine ... am I wrong in that
assumption? Or have I just overlooked a key setting in getting the nfs to
work?
Any suggestions / pointers are most welcome ...
