[TriLUG] nfs locks

[r.wheaton]

thanks jon..  :-) i do remember that...  what fun times (in a very 
sadistic way).  

but i did figure it out, btw...  i was just frustrated cause i didn't 
have any way of "playing" with NFS to get reacquainted with it....all i 
had was docs.

and, going back over what i wrote last night, i don't know what i was 
thinking or even talking about...  so my apologies for babbling to the 
list.  :-)

thanks for listening though :-)

-rtw

p.s.  jon, did you ever find that spamassassin / exchange howto?  i may 
have missed the post...
