Hi there:

I have a NeXTstation (system 3.0) connected to a network with a variety of
UNIX machines (Sun,HP,DG,NCR,etc). The NeXT is our File Server and has two  
SCCI disks (300MB,1GB). After I started getting error messages from  
"rpc.statd" in other UNIX machines, I decided to read the book "Managing  
NFS and NIS" and learned that NFS handles file locking using two daemons:  
rpc.statd and rpc.lockd.

First question: why aren't these daemons being activated from "/etc/rc"?

I decided to activate these daemons after "biod" and the error messages  
from client "rpc.statd" daemons disappeared. Yet, after a day or so (and a  
couple of reboots) I'm having a different problem: "rpc.statd" starts OK,  
but "rpc.lockd" starts but then immediately halts without any error  
messages.

Second question: how can I find out what's wrong with "rpc.lockd"?

Thanks in advance,
