Could someone answer a couple of questions about the uucp locking
conventions used by FreeBSD? Namely, does it use the HoneyDanber
style of ASCII pids in the lock files? Also, is the default directory
for lock files /var/spool/lock?

I've examined sources and the uucico binary. It appears that FreeBSD
is using HoneyDanber locks and placing them in /var/spool/lock but
I want to be sure.

Thanks,

John
