In System V Release 4, the 'fuser' utility will tell you which process
have a given file/directory open.  The -u option also tells you the
owner of the process.  For example when I did 
'/usr/sbin/fuser -u /home2/andyc' I got:

/home2/andyc:    21741c(andyc)   21630c(andyc)   21628c(andyc)   17133c(andyc)   17122c(andyc)   17120c(andyc)     789c(andyc)     696c(andyc)     694c(andyc)     693c(andyc)     692c(andyc)     687c(andyc)     684c(andyc)     683c(andyc)     674c(andyc)     651c(andyc)


whoa! Not only that, its fast!!.  This is similar functionality to
ofiles referenced elsewhere.
