1. Process A opens file /var/tmp/test1, and flocks descriptor. 2. Process H unlinks /var/tmp/test1 3. Process B opens file /var/tmp/test1, and flocks _another_ descriptor 4. Processes A and B are running simultaneously Do you need protection agains H ? Use file that is writeable by A and B in a directory that is writeable only by root.
