Yeah, I fixed the SeLinux issues by disabling it at boot

I dropped the server to: # uname -a Linux el-ghor 2.6.28.8 #19 SMP Sun Mar 22 18:41:28 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And still see same lockfile error.
However, a typo showed that locking is indeed working fine - for everything except one directory tree (/root/Mail) ... re-mounting and even rebooting one of the failing clients didn't help.
mounts are nfs3,sec=sys,posix,... and the server filesystem is ext3 w/acls rpc.statd is active on all systems, and there is no firewall in the way
So now the server and one client have been rebooted, and the client can lock files anywhere but the directory tree for /root/Mail sm-notify -f (from the client) didn't help
Somewhere, there is persistant state that is keeping two out of three local systems from creating locks and it all started after upgrading the kernel ... colour me dazed and confused, but trying to continue ;)
/me goes in search of lock display tools (cat /proc/locks isn't yet enough for me) -- Rick
