My memory of the details is hazy now, but I seem to recall that lockd
does check that somewhere.

All I did was run the following on two different machines, and verify
that one got the lock the instant I ^C'd the other.

--b.

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/select.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <err.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	char buf[4096];
	struct flock fl;
	int fd, ret;

	if (argc != 2)
		errx(1, "usage: %s file_to_lock", argv[0]);

	fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666);
	if (fd == -1)
		err(1, "open");
	/* Exclusive lock on whole file: */
	fl.l_type = F_WRLCK;
	fl.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
	fl.l_start = 0;
	fl.l_len = 0;
	ret = fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, &fl);
	if (ret == -1)
		err(1, "fcntl(fd, F_SETLKWD, fl)");
	printf("got lock; waiting\n");
	select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
	exit(0);
}
