file locking in Bnews2.11 under SunOS 4.1

[Pivot]

I have a couple of Sparcs running SunOS 4.1 that automounts all the
netnews stuff (lib, bin, spool, batch, etc) from a Sun4 that also runs
SunOS 4.1.  Posting from the Sun4 is fine.  Posting from one of the Sparcs
gives me this:

The Sun4 exports the FS's rw, and /etc/mtab on a sparc shows the FS's
mounted rw.  For what it's worth, nntp accessing is ok.  I'm using Bnews
2.11.

I also seem to recall hearing something about a bug w/ lockd/statd under
SunOS 4.1.  Can anyone tell me about that???  It's a decent place to start
to track down this problem...
