daemon maintains an database of file locks obtained by SMB clients.
The default behavior is to map this internal database to POSIX
locks. This means that file locks obtained by SMB clients are
consistent with those seen by POSIX compliant applications accessing
the files via a non-SMB method (e.g. NFS or local file access).
You should never need to disable this parameter.</para>
