<listitem>
<para>This is a boolean that controls the handling of
file locking in the server. When this is set to <constant>yes</constant>
the server will check every read and write access for file locks, and
deny access if locks exist. This can be slow on some systems.</para>
<para>When strict locking is <constant>no</constant> the server does file
lock checks only when the client explicitly asks for them.</para>
<para>Well-behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it
is important, so in the vast majority of cases <command moreinfo="none">strict
locking = no</command> is preferable.</para>
<para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">strict locking = no</command></para>
