		<term><anchor id="LOCKSPINCOUNT"/>lock spin count (G)</term>
		<listitem><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.
