Re: OpenOffice 1.0 file sharing "bug"

OpenOffice has file locking disabled by default. Thus, for systems that
share documents, a race condition re: file sharing is possible (e.g.
2 users opening and editing the same file at the same time).

The fix: edit the openoffice startup file (the soffice script) and
enable the following lines

export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_OPENING=1
export STAR_PROFILE_LOCKING_DISABLED=1

ensure that you have a lockd daemon running on your system (though
it would still prompt a dialog box with a "General Input/output error"
as OO doesn't hold a permanent lock on the file.)
