Are you sure you're actually using LockServer?  LockServer doesn't
store any persistent data - if you shut it down you lose all the
locks.

Also, lockserver never returns 'Unknown User' as the name - that's
only a return value from the filesystem locks (it never needs to -
Lockserver always knows exactly who set the lock).
