Could anyone help in solving this.

procmail: Acquiring kernel-lock
Looks like procmail is trying to use a kernel locking technique not
supported by your system over NFS. You'll need to recompile and reinstall
procmail. During the make, it should spit out the following message:
==============================================================================
In order for the kernel-locking tests to work as intended I have to be able to
test-lock files on as many semantically different filesystems as possible (for
more information about this, READ PARAGRAPH TWO in INSTALL). To suppress this
prompt you can set the LOCKINGTEST variable in the Makefile.
Please add writable directories to the list. You should only add directories
that reside on filesystems that have unique characteristics. E.g. if you have
several remote NFS partitions, pick some unique client-server pairs, there is
little use in picking the same server twice from the same client-machine.
An excellent candidate would be a remotely mounted mail spool directory.
==============================================================================
Make sure you include a directory under /nfs/pictum/home.
/nfs/pictum/home/lm should work fine.
You may want to compare the output of "procmail -v" before and after you
reinstall procmail to see what kernel locking technique is not supported
by your system.
