Good question. Not that I know of - for the test was conducted in a LAN
that isn't mine, I've masked the IP addresses and hostnames:

Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.8       Generic February 2000
bash-2.05$ cat /etc/dfs/dfstab
[...comments snipped...]
share -F nfs -o rw=@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/26 /space
share -F nfs -o ro=@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/26 /opt

bash-2.05$ uname -a
SunOS somehost 5.8 Generic_117350-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

Are your nlockmgrs running? All relevant patches installed?  The
machines I tested on have been fully patched up two days before the test
-- "pgrep lockd" and "rpcinfo -p" on client and server should tell you.

At any rate, I don't think Solaris fcntl-style file locking is broken.
