+<p><br>This option allows you to specify a file containing unique mappings

+(based on VAX/VMS) in UNIX.  The reader is advised to become familiar

+<p><br>This option is used in conjunction with <a href="smb.conf.5.html#localgroupmap"><strong>'local group map'</strong></a>
+and <a href="smb.conf.5.html#usernamemap"><strong>'username map'</strong></a>.  The use of these three
+options is trivial and often unnecessary in the case where Samba is
+not expected to interact with any other SAM databases (whether local
+workstations or Domain Controllers).
+<p><br>The map file is parsed line by line.  If any line begins with a <code>'#'</code>
+or a <code>';'</code> then it is ignored.  Each line should contain a single UNIX
+group name on the left then an NT Domain Group name on the right.
+The line can be either of the form:
+<p><br><code>  UNIXgroupname	\\DOMAIN_NAME\\DomainGroupName </code>
+<p><br>or:
+<p><br><code>  UNIXgroupname	DomainGroupName </code>
+<p><br>In the case where Samba is either an <strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong> Domain Controller
+or it is a member of a domain using <a href="smb.conf.5.html#security"><strong>"security = domain"</strong></a>,
+the latter format can be used: the default Domain name is the Samba Server's
+Domain name, specified by <a href="smb.conf.5.html#workgroup"><strong>"workgroup = MYGROUP"</strong></a>.
+<p><br>Any UNIX groups that are <em>NOT</em> specified in this map file are assumed
+to be Domain Groups.
+<p><br>In this case, when Samba is an <strong>EXPERIMENTAL</strong> Domain Controller, Samba
+will present <em>ALL</em> such unspecified UNIX groups as its own NT Domain
+Groups, with the same name.
+<p><br>In the case where Samba is member of a domain using
+<a href="smb.conf.5.html#security"><strong>"security = domain"</strong></a>, Samba will check the UNIX name with
+its Domain Controller (see <a href="smb.conf.5.html#passwordserver"><strong>"password server"</strong></a>)
+as if it was an NT Domain Group.  If the UNIX group is not an NT Group,
+such unspecified (unmapped) UNIX groups which also are not NT Domain
+Groups are treated as Local Groups in the Samba Server's local SAM database.
+NT Administrators will recognise these as Workstation Local Groups,
+which are managed by running <strong>USRMGR.EXE</strong> and selecting a remote
+Domain named "\\WORKSTATION_NAME", or by running <strong>MUSRMGR.EXE</strong> on
+a local Workstation.
+<p><br>Note that adding an entry to map an arbitrary NT group in an arbitrary
