+		<listitem><para>The non unix account range parameter specifies 
+                the range of 'user ids' that are allocated by the various 'non unix 
+                account' passdb backends.  These backends allow
+                the storage of passwords for users who don't exist in /etc/passwd.  
+                This is most often used for machine account creation. 
+                This range of ids should have no existing local or NIS users within 
+                it as strange conflicts can occur otherwise.</para>
+
+                <para>NOTE: These userids never appear on the system and Samba will never
+                'become' these users. They are used only to ensure that the algorithmic 
+                RID mapping does not conflict with normal users.
