Hi Managers,

we got problems using mail with NFS-mounted /var/spool/mail.
On all nodes 'mail' exits with an
"binmail: cannot lockf /usr/spool/mail/gnolte" error.
This mail configuration was ok for several days, but this
afternoon it began to show this misbehaviour.

The nfsserver has DU V3.2D-1, clients are using V3.2D and V4.0B.

Any idea what the reason could be and how to avoid this problem in future?

Thanx in advance
