<description>
	<para>For UNIXes that support kernel based <smbconfoption name="oplocks"/>
	(currently only IRIX and the Linux 2.4 kernel), this parameter 
	allows the use of them to be turned on or off.</para>

	<para>Kernel oplocks support allows Samba <parameter moreinfo="none">oplocks
	</parameter> to be broken whenever a local UNIX process or NFS operation 
	accesses a file that <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> has oplocked. This allows complete 
	data consistency between SMB/CIFS, NFS and local file access (and is 
	a <emphasis>very</emphasis> cool feature :-).</para>

	<para>This parameter defaults to <constant>on</constant>, but is translated
	to a no-op on systems that no not have the necessary kernel support.
	You should never need to touch this parameter.</para>
