Lock files - confused

1999-12-19 22:34:02
Lock files, basically, they confuse the fsck out of me. :-(

Can someone enlighten me as to:

Why I need them?
When do I need them?
What are the different types?
When do I use the different types?
What can go wrong if I either don't use them or use the wrong type?
