The solution was to get knfsd-1.2. This is the kernel space version of
the nfs programs. It turns out that the default one for (debian at least)
runs in users space and does not correctly do file locking.
Getting it to work on a 2.2.5 kernel was a little bit tricky, since it
required some kernel patches which were made against 2.2.3. Since I got only one
response, ( thanks Moshe ) I won't elaborate, but if anyone is interested in the
gory details, drop me a line.
