	<para>In brief it specifies a number, which causes <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>not to grant an oplock even when requested 
	if the approximate number of clients contending for an oplock on the same file goes over this 
	limit. This causes <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> to behave in a similar 
	way to Windows NT.</para>
