		<listitem><para>This is a <emphasis>very</emphasis> advanced 
		<ulink url="smbd.8.html">smbd(8)</ulink> tuning option to 
		improve the efficiency of the granting of oplocks under multiple 
		client contention for the same file.</para>
		
		<para>In brief it specifies a number, which causes <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>not to grant an oplock even when requested 
		if the approximate number of clients contending for an oplock on the same file goes over this 
		limit. This causes <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> to behave in a similar 
		way to Windows NT.</para>
