I am CCing this to the 'netbsd-users' list since I might find more
people using pcnfs on 0.9 that don't read about current.

To summarize my initial post, I am looking for war stories regarding
the use of pcnfsd on and BSD UNIX.

I am looking forward to a PD lockd!  However, we are using FTP's PCTCP
product, which allows us to specify whether we want locking for each
mount.   The DOS applications that really require locking, luckily
have their own form.

The change I am using was offered by Karl Denniger on the BSDI mail
list which is a simple one line change in nfs_recv.c.  Having a mount
option would also be nice, but would not work in the case of the PC's
which need it worse than any.
