Shalom,

Can you tell us the following:
1)Version of OS.
2)What kind of lock manager issue we face? NFS, database, what?
3) What kind of application are we dealing with here.

4)If i disable nlockmgr the nfs work fine ?
5)how can verify in nlockmgr is disabled?

Just a quick question - why exactly do you need to disable rpc.lockd? If you do this then any application using the NFS filesystems that need to lock files will most likely hang. Is there a really good reason to disable it?

I want disable it for the security , but if it can create problem i don't want close it.

What kind of problem can i have?

What do you mean by "security"? If you're worried about people accessing your NFS servers, you can put them behind a firewall and only open the few ports needed for NFS, including one port for rpc.lockd, one for rpc.statd, one for rpc.mountd, one for nfsd and one for rpcbind.

What other type of security issue are you concerned about with rpc.lockd?
