	<para>This is a <emphasis>very</emphasis> advanced
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> 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>

<warning><para>DO NOT CHANGE THIS PARAMETER UNLESS YOU HAVE READ 
		AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAMBA OPLOCK CODE.</para></warning>
