James,
Thanks for the suggestion...in actual fact I am on 4.1.2.0. sorry about
my lack of precision in my original posting. I'll get hold of the latest
PTFs asap. I thought I was doing something wrong, I didn't really think
my problems were bugs!
However I forgot to state that my lockd problem is actually on a Netview
5.1 platform...any more ideas?
cheers Paul
