File lock and freebsd file server

Currently using a windows 2000 server as our file server. I'm looking to migrate to bsd for this but I'm not sure how to handle the following situation. There are times when a program (such as quark) would lock up and the person would have to kill the application on his/her workstation. This would still mean that the file is being open so I would need to terminate the open session on the file server under "Computer Management." How would I do this under freebsd? Just look at all the running processes and locate the process in question and then kill it?
 
If you're using Samba to share the files you could just kill the smbd process for that user, smbstatus will print all the information you need.
