Hello list - After much googling around and not finding the answer I 
come to you.  From what I've read at various places SFTP supports file 
locks.  However, when I test for file locks during an upload I'm not 
seeing the uploaded file get locked during transmission.  Is there a 
setting that needs to be enabled in sshd_config for this?  I'm uploading 
to an NFS3 filesystem.  I have confirmed that locking works otherwise in 
NFS with both flock() and fcntl().

Thank you.

config:
RHEL5.5 64bit
Openssh 5.6p1, compiled from source

sshd_config:
