The problem is on my end. In deperation I upped the server to the latest
potato and upgraded it to 2.2.11. When I rebooted (third time it has
ever been rebooted), I saw the message:
Starting NFS client services: rpc.lockdlockdsvc: Function not
implemented

Evidently, my NFS server CAN'T do file locking. Loading the 'lockd'
moduel and restarting the service doesn't do anything either. Should I
try kernel-level NFS server support?
