<samba:parameter name="default service" context="G" advanced="1" developer="1" type="string" xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> <synonym>default</synonym> <description> <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 <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/>, <smbconfoption name="read-only"/> 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 "_" characters in the name of the service used in the default service will get mapped to a "/". This allows for interesting things.</para> </description> <value type="default"></value> <value type="example">pub</value> </samba:parameter>
