	<para>This parameter controls the behavior 
	of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> when given a request by a client 
	to obtain a byte range lock on a region of an open file, and the 
	request has a time limit associated with it.</para>
		
	<para>If this parameter is set and the lock range requested 
	cannot be immediately satisfied, samba will internally 
	queue the lock request, and periodically attempt to obtain 
	the lock until the timeout period expires.</para>

	<para>If this parameter is set to <constant>no</constant>, then 
	samba will behave as previous versions of Samba would and 
	will fail the lock request immediately if the lock range 
	cannot be obtained.</para>
