I guess it comes down to what you are trying to accomplish: 1) Build a global hash table of the file system in /tmp. So, the file can only be opened by one person at a time. 2) Build a user-specific hash table. This way, users can't maliciously interfere with each other. I don't know enough of the use cases. What are the cases for sharing locks between multiple-users? It might just be Friday, but I can't think of any. Brian
