Name
       nfssetlock - turn on or off the NFS locking service

Syntax
       /etc/nfssetlock option

Description
       The command turns the NFS locking service on or off at the kernel level.  By default, the NFS locking service is turned off.

       If the NFS locking service is turned off, local locking is active.  Local locking only coordinates the dispersal of advisory locks to local
       files and file regions.	The NFS locking service coordinates the dispersal of advisory locks to	both  local  and  remote  files  and  file
       regions through the and primitives.

       Only  the  superuser  or root can run The best way to run is through the command, which provides an interactive means for enabling and dis-
       abling the NFS locking service.

Restrictions
       If you run manually, you must issue it while the system is in single-user mode.	Otherwise, the locking information could become lost  dur-
       ing the transition between local and NFS locking.

Options
       on     Turn on the NFS locking service.

       off    Turn off the NFS locking service.
