<description>
	<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 disabled, the server performs 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 acceptable.</para>
