No.. This locking is only for SA to negotiate how to lock the bayes and AWL
databases amongst instances of itself.

It has nothing to do with sharing files with your MTA, or any other program.

Note however that ALL instances of SA (including sa-learn) must use the same
method for it to work properly. If MailScanner's instance of SA is using flock,
and sa-learn is using nfssafe (the default) you can corrupt your bayes database.
This is why it's generally inadvisable to put this in user_prefs files.
