+ <para>
+ Setting this paramter to <value type="example">no</value> prevents
+ winbind from creating custom krb5.conf files. Winbind normally does
+ this because the krb5 libraries are not AD-site-aware and thus would
+ pick any domain controller out of potentially very many. Winbind
+ is site-aware and makes the krb5 libraries use a local DC by
+ creating its own krb5.conf files.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Preventing winbind from doing this might become necessary if you
+ have to add special options into your system-krb5.conf that winbind
+ does not see.
