The only way you can get away with this is to define a global lockserver 
in the CVSROOT/config, which means you're using a server (of sorts) 
anyway.  If you don't do this you'll be using different locking to the 
clients and chaos will ensue.

It's really much better to stick to using the server for all clients.
