Not everything is part of the distribution. |

The one which first comes to mind are lock files placed to prevent |
| 9 |
certain cron-initiated jobs from running right after a reboot. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Or locks preventing certain daemons from accepting connections. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Such locks often are used to protect net bandwidth when it is needed |
| 14 |
for real-time use. A reboot of some random box on the lan should not |
| 15 |
break such locks. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
And /var/lock is the standard place to put and look for lock files. |

Got to run; can't contiue to write right now.... |
