+<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
+ <term><anchor id="DEFAULTSERVICE"/>default service (G)</term>
+ <listitem><para>This parameter specifies the name of a service
+ which will be connected to if the service actually requested cannot
+ be found. Note that the square brackets are <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
+ given in the parameter value (see example below).</para>
+
+ <para>There is no default value for this parameter. If this
+ parameter is not given, attempting to connect to a nonexistent
+ service results in an error.</para>
+
+ <para>Typically the default service would be a <link linkend="GUESTOK">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">guest ok</parameter></link>, <link linkend="READONLY">
+ <parameter moreinfo="none">read-only</parameter></link> service.</para>
+
+ <para>Also note that the apparent service name will be changed
+ to equal that of the requested service, this is very useful as it
+ allows you to use macros like <parameter moreinfo="none">%S</parameter> to make
+ a wildcard service.</para>
+
+ <para>Note also that any &quot;_&quot; characters in the name of the service
+ used in the default service will get mapped to a &quot;/&quot;. This allows for
+ interesting things.</para>
+
+
+ <para>Example:</para>
+
+<para><programlisting format="linespecific">
+[global]
+ default service = pub
+
+[pub]
+ path = /%S
+</programlisting></para>
+ </listitem>
+ </samba:parameter>
