+ Serialize access to the tally file using locks. This option might
+ be used only for non-multithreaded services because it depends on
+ the fcntl locking of the tally file. Also it is a good idea to use
+ this option only in such configurations where the time between auth
+ phase and account or setcred phase is not dependent on the
+ authenticating client. Otherwise the authenticating client will be
+ able to prevent simultaneous authentications by the same user by
+ simply artificially prolonging the time the file record lock is held.
