5 <para>This is a boolean that controls the handling of
6 file locking in the server. When this is set to <constant>yes</constant>
7 the server will check every read and write access for file locks, and
8 deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on some systems.</para>
10 <para>When strict locking is <constant>no</constant> the server does file
11 lock checks only when the client explicitly asks for them.</para>
13 <para>Well-behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it
14 is important, so in the vast majority of cases <command moreinfo="none">strict
15 locking = no</command> is preferable.</para>
17 <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">strict locking = no</command></para>
