<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="STRICTLOCKING"/>strict locking (S)</term>
		<listitem><para>This is a boolean that controls the handling of 
		file locking in the server. When this is set to <constant>yes</constant> 
		the server will check every read and write access for file locks, and 
		deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on some systems.</para>

		<para>When strict locking is <constant>no</constant> the server does file 
		lock checks only when the client explicitly asks for them.</para>

		<para>Well-behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it 
		is important, so in the vast majority of cases <command moreinfo="none">strict 
		locking = no</command> is preferable.</para>

		<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">strict locking = no</command></para>
