+ <para>This is a list of users that should not be allowed
+ to login to this service. This is really a <emphasis>paranoid</emphasis>
+ check to absolutely ensure an improper setting does not breach

+ <para>A name starting with a '@' is interpreted as an NIS

+ group if the name was not found in the NIS netgroup database.</para>
+
+ <para>A name starting with '+' is interpreted only
+ by looking in the UNIX group database. A name starting with
+ '&amp;' is interpreted only by looking in the NIS netgroup database
+ (this requires NIS to be working on your system). The characters
+ '+' and '&amp;' may be used at the start of the name in either order
+ so the value <parameter moreinfo="none">+&amp;group</parameter> means check the
+ UNIX group database, followed by the NIS netgroup database, and
+ the value <parameter moreinfo="none">&amp;+group</parameter> means check the NIS
+ netgroup database, followed by the UNIX group database (the
+ same as the '@' prefix).</para>
+
+ <para>The current servicename is substituted for <parameter moreinfo="none">%S</parameter>.
+ This is useful in the [homes] section.</para>
