| 7 |         This is an enumerated type that controls the handling of 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 deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on 
 | 
|---|
| 9 |         some systems.

| 13 |         When strict locking is set to Auto (the default), the server performs file lock checks only on non-oplocked files.
 |

| 14 |         As most Windows redirectors perform file locking checks locally on oplocked files this is a good trade off for
 | 
|---|
| 15 |         improved performance.

| 19 |         When strict locking is disabled, the server performs file lock checks only when the client explicitly asks for them.

| 23 |         Well-behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it is important.  So in the vast majority of cases, 
 |

| 24 |          <command moreinfo="none">strict locking = Auto</command> or
 | 
|---|
| 25 |          <command moreinfo="none">strict locking = no</command> is acceptable.
