My wrapper does dialing on its own (with chat(1) from the ppp
package). In order to dial and not being disturbed by e.g. mgetty, i
have to obtain the lock before dialing starts. Hence i create the
lockfile (or reduce to go on). If the lock fails, the wrapper will
never start slattach at all.
Well, as long as slattach doesn't give up when the lockfile already
exists, i wouldn't mind.
