I've been researching NFS and its file locking capabilities on FreeBSD and I can't seem to find the answer to my question, so I thought I would ask it here.
In this document http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.h tml#NETWORK-CONFIGURATION-CONT It mentions this: "The next option listed here is the rpc.lockd option, which, when selected, will provide file locking services. This is usually used with rpc.statd to monitor what hosts are requesting locks and how frequently they request them. While these last two options are marvelous for debugging, they are not required for NFS servers and clients to operate correctly." Is rpc.lockd required for fcntl() style locking to work correctly?
