<samba:parameter name="winbind use default domain" context="G" type="boolean" xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> <description> <para>This parameter specifies whether the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>winbindd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon should operate on users without domain component in their username. Users without a domain component are treated as is part of the winbindd server's own domain. While this does not benefit Windows users, it makes SSH, FTP and e-mail function in a way much closer to the way they would in a native unix system.</para> <para>This option should be avoided if possible. It can cause confusion about responsibilities for a user or group. In many situations it is not clear whether winbind or /etc/passwd should be seen as authoritative for a user, likewise for groups.</para> </description> <value type="default">no</value> <value type="example">yes</value> </samba:parameter>
