- <para>This is a integer parameter, and mirrors as much as possible the functinality the
- <constant>RestrictAnonymous</constant> registry key does on NT/Win2k.
+ <para>The setting of this parameter determines whether user and
+ group list information is returned for an anonymous connection.
+ and mirrors the effects of the
+ <constant>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\RestrictAnonymous</constant> registry key in Windows
+ 2000 and Windows NT. When set to 0, user and group list
+ information is returned to anyone who asks. When set
+ to 1, only an authenticated user can retrive user and
+ group list information. The value 2, supported by
+ Windows 2000 and higher, is not supported by Samba.
