6 <para>This is a boolean that controls the handling of
7 file locking in the server. When this is set to <constant>yes</constant>,
8 the server will check every read and write access for file locks, and
9 deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on some systems.</para>
11 <para>When strict locking is disabled, the server performs file
12 lock checks only when the client explicitly asks for them.</para>
14 <para>Well-behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it
15 is important. So in the vast majority of cases, <command moreinfo="none">strict
16 locking = no</command> is acceptable.</para>
18 <value type="default">yes</value>
