+ If a Samba server is a member of a Windows NT Domain (see the <smbconfoption
+ name="security">domain</smbconfoption> parameter) then periodically a running smbd process will try and change
+ the MACHINE ACCOUNT PASSWORD stored in the TDB called <filename moreinfo="none">private/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.
