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