+ <listitem><para><command>unixsam</command> - Allows samba to map all (other) available unix users</para>
+
+ <para>This backend uses the standard unix database for retrieving users. Users included
+ in this pdb are NOT listed in samba user listings and users included in this pdb won't be
+ able to login. The use of this backend is to always be able to display the owner of a file
+ on the samba server - even when the user doesn't have a 'real' samba account in one of the
+ other passdb backends.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>This backend should always be the last backend listed, since it contains all users in
+ the unix passdb and might 'override' mappings if specified earlier. It's meant to only return
+ accounts for users that aren't covered by the previous backends.</para>
