Just as a heads-up for anyone trying to use OpenOffice to read and write documents over NFS on FreeBSD, you should make sure that you have the following in your /etc/rc.conf file:
nfs_client_enable=”yes”
rpc_lockd_enable=”yes”
rpc_statd_enable=”yes”
rpcbind_enable=”yes”
I was getting an error that said “General input/output error while accessing /foo/bar/whatever.odt” before I turned those options on.
