<para>This parameter controls the behavior

of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
8
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when given a request by a client
9
to obtain a byte range lock on a region of an open file, and the
10
request has a time limit associated with it.</para>
12
<para>If this parameter is set and the lock range requested
13
cannot be immediately satisfied, samba will internally
14
queue the lock request, and periodically attempt to obtain
15
the lock until the timeout period expires.</para>
17
<para>If this parameter is set to <constant>no</constant>, then
18
samba will behave as previous versions of Samba would and
19
will fail the lock request immediately if the lock range
20
cannot be obtained.</para>
