Hi  , 
        I verified that suse NFS server enters
grace period whenever nfsd starts , irrespective
of whether lockd was already runnnig or not.
While Red Hat NFS server (RHEL 4 pre_rc2) does
not restart grace period of already running
lockd , even if nfsd restarts.

**Can anybody let me know what the standard behaviour
  should be. ??

What i think is that suse does it right by restarting
nfs grace period of already running lockd.
This is because machine acting as nfs server
can definitely act as nfs client of some other
machine(though rare but occurs).

Will nfs developers from Suse "also" like to comment
on this?

thanks,
-- kiran
