+ <para>
+ If a client connects to smbd using an untrusted domain name, such as
+ BOGUS\user, smbd replaces the BOGUS domain with it's SAM name before
+ attempting to authenticate that user. In the case where smbd is acting as
+ a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user. In the case where smbd is acting as a
+ domain member server or a standalone server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ In previous versions of Samba (pre 3.4), if smbd was acting as a domain
+ member server, the BOGUS domain name would instead be replaced by the
+ primary domain which smbd was a member of. In this case authentication
+ would be deferred off to a DC using the credentials DOMAIN\user.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ When this parameter is set to <constant>yes</constant> smbd provides the
+ legacy behavior of mapping untrusted domain names to the primary domain.
+ When smbd is not acting as a domain member server, this parameter has no
+ effect.
