locking on NFS

[Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>]

Is anyone running an NFS mounted partition where file locking correctly
works?

I have a server running potato with kernel 2.2.18 and nfs-kernel-server and
a client with kernel 2.4.2 and sid. My client mounts the partition but
cannot do file locking. For instance mutt is not able to write a mailbox
(shouldn't it be using dot locking anyway?). It just says mailbox is read
only. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find some docs helping me so far.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael
