How to make emacs "lock" files on remote host ?

[Adrian Phillips]

Good day,

I've figured out how to make backup files and auto-save files been on
the host where the file resides, but one slight problem is the "lock"
file that emacs creates when the file is first altered. How can I tell
emacs/tramp to create the lock file on the remote machine - is it
possible currently ?

I note a brief discussion about this from 2001 about
verify-visited-file-modtime not being supported then but don't know
whether this is still the case.

Sincerely,

Adrian Phillips
