+ <para>This parameter controls the number of times
+ that smbd should attempt to gain a byte range lock on the
+ behalf of a client request. Experiments have shown that
+ Windows 2k servers do not reply with a failure if the lock
+ could not be immediately granted, but try a few more times
+ in case the lock could later be aquired. This behavior
+ is used to support PC database formats such as MS Access
+ and FoxPro.
