| What is your NFS server? It looks like your NFS server returns

I just got this message from a Solaris-2.5.1 NFS server.

I'm also having the following problem: when I try to read my mail
using NM's `inc' command, `inc' just hangs until I kill it. The mail
drop file is on a Sun 4.1.4 NFS server. Meanwhile, on the Sun 4.1.4
server several `procmail' processes start to accumulate because they
can't write to my mail drop file. I assume they're waiting for a lock
to be released.

Since I'm mounting the file file system with the `nolock' option, how
can this happen? Could statd be causing this problem?
