6 <para>This parameter controls the behavior
7 of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
8 <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when given a request by a client
9 to obtain a byte range lock on a region of an open file, and the
10 request has a time limit associated with it.</para>
12 <para>If this parameter is set and the lock range requested
13 cannot be immediately satisfied, samba will internally
14 queue the lock request, and periodically attempt to obtain
15 the lock until the timeout period expires.</para>
17 <para>If this parameter is set to <constant>no</constant>, then
18 samba will behave as previous versions of Samba would and
19 will fail the lock request immediately if the lock range
20 cannot be obtained.</para>
