- Will file locking work properly on an NFS disk mounted on multiple
- hosts? I want to lock a file in the user's home directory so that
- other active sessions cannot touch the file (yes, the other sessions
- are checking the lock too). However, other sessions could be on
- any one of a number of machines, included Suns and a CDC4680. Will
- "flock"ing still work?
