The version from comp.sources.unix volume 18 does not support NFS, but
there are other versions of ofiles running around that do. Sometime in
the near future I will make my kstuff package available. Included in
kstuff is pf, a more portable, hopefully easier-to-use, integrated
version of ofiles/fstat; pf works over NFS, though there's no way to
tell that a process on some other machine has a file open.
