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