On large installations it may be necessary to suppress the enumeration of +users through the setpwent, getpwent and endpwent group of +system calls. If the winbind enum users parameter is false, calls to +the getpwent system call will not return any data. +

Warning: Turning off user enumeration may cause some programs to behave +oddly. For example, the finger program relies on having access to the full +user list when searching for matching usernames. +
