Summary: remove locks in /etc/rc

Well, for starters, you should have your /etc/rc remove locks --
all locks for all programs that commonly use them, not just
rnews.lock.  Our /etc/rc, for example, includes:

rm -f /usr/spool/lpd/??lock
rm -f /etc/ptmp	 # password-lock-file
rm -f /u/notes/.locks/*
rm -f /tmp/uucall.lock	# /usr/lib/uucp/call.often-lock-file
rm -f /usr/spool/uucp/LCK.* # uucp calling locks
rm -f /u/barad/MSLOCKDIR/*	# Empress database locks
rm -f /u/phyllis/eval/MSLOCKDIR/*
rm -f /u/fap/MSLOCKDIR/*

...and I think I'll add /usr/spool/news/.rnews.lock right now.
