+ <para>
+ This option only takes effect when the <smbconfoption name="security"/> option is set to
+ <constant>server</constant>, <constant>domain</constant> or <constant>ads</constant>.
+ If it is set to no, then attempts to connect to a resource from
+ a domain or workgroup other than the one which smbd is running
+ in will fail, even if that domain is trusted by the remote server
+ doing the authentication.</para>
+
+ <para>This is useful if you only want your Samba server to
+ serve resources to users in the domain it is a member of. As
+ an example, suppose that there are two domains DOMA and DOMB. DOMB
+ is trusted by DOMA, which contains the Samba server. Under normal
+ circumstances, a user with an account in DOMB can then access the
+ resources of a UNIX account with the same account name on the
+ Samba server even if they do not have an account in DOMA. This
+ can make implementing a security boundary difficult.</para>
