+ <description>
+ <para>This boolean parameter is only available if
+ Samba has been configured and compiled with the option <command moreinfo="none">
+ --with-utmp</command>. If set to <constant>yes</constant> then Samba will attempt
+ to add utmp or utmpx records (depending on the UNIX system) whenever a
+ connection is made to a Samba server. Sites may use this to record the
+ user connecting to a Samba share.</para>
+
+ <para>Due to the requirements of the utmp record, we
+ are required to create a unique identifier for the
+ incoming user. Enabling this option creates an n^2
+ algorithm to find this number. This may impede
+ performance on large installations. </para>
