it's easy, but it doesn't work very well.
OK, even if nobody else does, I'll bite.
Why not?
It scales poorly.

We have come across a problem wrt to a network file lock manager.
Consider the case of a lock on a local file, and a request from a remote

Most of these can be attributed to the crappy wall wart they call a
