This is printed out whenever your kernel is configured for NFS and a file- lock is attempted (as when sending Email) but the NFS lock daemon (rpc.lockd) isn’t running. This is most probably due to the fact that it wasn’t started in /etc/inittab. The fix is simple: enable rpc.lockd (and it’s companion rpc.statd) in /etc/inittab as follows: nfs5:2:wait:/etc/rpc.statd # set to “wait” for NFS status monitor nfs6:2:once:/etc/rpc.lockd # set to “once” for NFS lock manager and either Restart A/UX or simply type ‘init q’.
