First off, thank you to those that sent responses to this problem initially.
After
being escalated within compaq, we have a found the problem and the solution.
The problem is the my service is not properly configured as a NFS Service.
As it turns
out, my service is configured as a DISK service, but exported like a NFS
service.
Also, with v5.0 Compaq introduced locking into ksh, which created my locking
issue with
ksh and vi, which didn't show up with the other 4.0f clients.
To solve the problem in the short term, I had to start two additional
processes rpc.statd
and rpc.lockd both with the -b option on the NFS server. In the long term,
I will have
to recreate the service as a proper NFS type service, which should start the
rpc statd/lockd
-b.
Thanks Again
Darren

Subject: Tru64 5.1 - problems with NFS mounted filesytem
I have successfully upgraded one of my systems from 4.0f to 4.0g to 5.1, and
have applied
patch kit 3
The system is a nfs client, with the nis/nfs master being a 4.0f system.
One directory ( /usr/local ) and the home directories are nis/nfs mounted
filesystems.
The problem is when I log into an account whose home directory is a nfs
mounted filesystem, the login
process appears to hang. To continue I have to ctrl-c which leaves me in
the home directory.
But, I cannot "vi" any file that is on the nfs mount, "vi" appears to hang.
I can xemacs and
dtpad the file. I can create a file using touch and echo " " > file.out on
the nfs mount.
I have opened a call with compaq, but they have not seen this and are
currently investigating.
Thanks
Darren
