Considering actual multi-user site scenarios, I think it is fairly useless to have the name of the machine in the lock file. Consider these examples:
1) Alice wants to edit a document. Computer says "No". Er, sorry, been watching too much Little Britain. I mean, LO says "document is locked by Bob on lab-pc-34-f7-a1.campus.city.example.com" . Now what? Alice probably doesn't know which of the dozens of PCs in some lab is the one whose official name is lab-pc-34-f7-a1 . And it might even be a dynamically assigned name that could indicate *any* of them. So she just calls Bob who says "ok, I'll close it". And even if she would know which machine it actually is, and that would be within walking distance, that gets us to : 2) LO says "document is locked by Bob on rubber-duck.exmple.com". Alice knows that rubber-duck is Bob's personal desktop (she doesn't want to know why it is called that), and phones Bob. No reply. Alice walks over to his cubicle, sees he is gone for a long lunch (it's Friday), with machine locked. How useful to know that the document is open on that machine... no? In both cases, just knowing *who* is holding the document open would be enough. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
