This parameter specifies whether the
winbindd
8 daemon should operate on users
without domain component in their username. Users without a domain
component are treated as is part of the winbindd server's own
domain. While this does not benefit Windows users, it makes SSH, FTP and
e-mail function in a way much closer to the way they
would in a native unix system.
This option should be avoided if possible. It can cause confusion
about responsibilities for a user or group. In many situations it is
not clear whether winbind or /etc/passwd should be seen as authoritative
for a user, likewise for groups.
