 This option can be very useful in some situations, but it should be
 used with due care, and only after confirming that the client system
 copes with the situation effectively.

+This option (the two names are synonymous) tells the NFS server not to require authentication of
+locking requests (i.e. requests which use the NLM protocol).  Normally
+the NFS server will require a lock request to hold a credential for a
+user who has read access to the file.  With this flag no access checks
+will be performed.
+
+Early NFS client implementations did not send credentials with lock
+requests, and many current NFS clients still exist which are based on
+the old implementations.  Use this flag if you find that you can only
+lock files which are world readable.

+The default behaviour of requiring authentication for NLM requests can
+be explicitly requested with either of the synonymous
+.IR auth_nlm ,
