Not particularly difficult, but it does require some inter-host notification 
infrastructure that we don't have as yet so as to allow stale locks to be 
broken (otherwise you risk being semi-permanently locked out of logs that are 
being edited on hosts that go offline unexpectedly).

I do plan to implement this in the next major version of Rivendell.  I foresee 
two modes operation (settable on a per-service basis):

1) Strict -- Don't allow concurrent editing of logs at all.

2) Permissive -- Warn the user when about to open a log that is already open 
elsewhere, but allow them to override the warning.

Any other use cases we need to consider?

Cheers!
