+ If a Samba server is a member of a Windows NT or Active Directory Domain (see the <smbconfoption
+ name="security">domain</smbconfoption> and
+ <smbconfoption name="security">ads</smbconfoption> parameters),
+ then periodically a running winbindd process will try and change
+ the MACHINE ACCOUNT PASSWORD stored in the TDB called <filename moreinfo="none">secrets.tdb
+ </filename>. This parameter specifies how often this password will be changed, in seconds. The default is one
+ week (expressed in seconds), the same as a Windows NT Domain member server.
