Hi again Francois!

No NFS but networking or no networking at all ?

Networking in itself was fine and stable, and with seemingly much better
performance in large file transfers as well.

NFS appeared to be working too, problem was just that workstation and
server couldn't agree on file locking procedures anymore, and all existing
files could only be read but not written to. This proved quite
unproductive, so I had to revert.

I've been browsing bug lists a bit, and seem to suffer exactly from this one:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=272268

... whenever I use an updated kernel (2.6.21.5 or 2.6.22-rc7) on the client 
end. The original 2.6.18.8.0-3 SuSE kernel works fine, and updating the 
server as well doesn't help.

Ideas welcome.

g'night.
Peter
