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