John Bass' locking scheme went into the /usr/group standard for section II and III calls. /usr/group being a committee, they couldn't leave well enough alone, so they fiddled with the definition just a little. The last time I checked, they were proposing that if the set-group-id bit is set on a file but none of the execute bits are, then record locks on that file block read and write calls as well as other locking calls. What a crock! Bass' original proposal, though, is perfectly fine for what it tries to do, and he was nice enough to give away source code for his kernel implementation of it.
