Actually, LockServer is used for everything.  The cvs-servxxx 
directories are not involved with locking.. they're the temporary 
directories (one per commit/whatever) that cvs stores the client 
information in.  Often this will just be CVS/Entries files, unless 
you're doing a commit then it'll contain the new revisions also.
