If /bin/mail uses fcnt, but the user *can't* use fcntl, both the user or
the system should be taken out back and shot. A system where the
system-provided mail facility uses a locking scheme not available to the
user is just too broken to live.
I agree. I never said that any of the locking schemes isn't
available to the user. To try to save you a response (and I
should know better by now): "can't use fcntl" could be for
other reasons than "not available".
I'm all for choosing more sensible defaults.
