Referring back to the "BSD Hacks" book (page 22) by Dru Lavigne, I see now that the lock command to which she refers comes with FreeBSD, although she states that it's available for NetBSD and OpenBSD. I'm an OpenBSD newbie, so I'd enjoy learning why a different version of lock is employed in OpenBSD. If anyone in the know wants to elaborate, that'd be great.
