Charles, The MARK messages are normal. The syslogd on the workstation is configured to send a MARK message every 60 minutes to indicate the workstation is still alive. This probably isn't necessary. You can edit the rc.local script and take out the '-m' arg on the syslogd line.
I don't have a clue what is causing your 'Can't lock' message.
