Could you please suggest where I can find the patch to make one user unable to
unlock the lock of the other user . Is it a good idea to put such patches ?
what would be the implications if I would put in that .
Thanks

Don't use CVS? The "C" in CVS stands for "Concurrent". This means that
anyone can edit any file at any time. If you need true locking, then you
will have to use one of the hacks floating around to add this to CVS or
live with the fact that CVS does not work that way.
