Re: "lock" directories.
Yup. I was the one who suggested it to Wietse. Also described it in the
PUIS book. Works very well. I also remember it being in the mdqs system
from BRL (now *that* dates my use of Unix, eh? :-). It has the additional
advantage that the "lock" can be a mount point, so the whole spool directory
can be on a separate spool partition with its own quota limits.
