=== Locking

Some applications (e.g. mutt) require file locking to operate correctly. In the case of NFS, rpc.lockd can be used for file locking. To enable it, add the following to the [.filename]#/etc/rc.conf# file on both client and server (it is assumed that the NFS client and server are configured already):
Some applications require file locking to operate correctly.
To enable locking, execute the following command on both the client and server:

[.programlisting]
[source,shell]
....
rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
rpc_statd_enable="YES"
# sysrc rpc_lockd_enable="YES"
....

Start the application by using:
Then start the service:

[source,shell]
....
# /etc/rc.d/nfslocking start
# service lockd start

....

If real locking between the NFS clients and NFS server is not required, it is possible to let the NFS client do locking locally by passing `-L` to man:mount_nfs[8]. Refer to the man:mount_nfs[8] manual page for further details.
