I've checked the ports and even shutdown the firewalls. Openoffice
says file is locked by an unknown user, and when saved as a new file
complains of permissions.

Could the recent nfs util update have changed something?

Is the nfs partition mounted read/write?

Yes it is mounted read/write. It has worked fine for several years and
just recently quit.
by the man pages nfs is set up correctly. If no one else is having
this problem, must be me.

I seem to remember openoffice doesn't play nice with nfs v3 file locking.
I had to go to nfs v4 to get openoffice and nfs to work together. I would
suggest searching openoffice.org for "nfs v3 and file locking" . Hope
this helps.

Thanks, I found it. NFSv4 is disabled in slackware's nfsutil package
so nfsv4 is not an option for me.

In the startup script for openoffice called soffice I commented out
the lines

SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING

and in the export file for the mount I added no_auth_nlm.

Its all working now
