		With this option you can define if a rpc service should be
		running internal/embedded in smbd or should be redirected to an
		external daemon like Samba4, the endpoint mapper daemon, the
		spoolss daemon or the new LSA service daemon. The rpc_server
		prefix must be followed by the pipe name, and a value.
	</para>

	<para>
		This option can be set for each available rpc service in Samba.

		The classic method is to run every pipe as an internal function
		<emphasis>embedded</emphasis> in smbd. The defaults may vary
		depending on the service.

	<para>
		Choosing the <emphasis>external</emphasis> option allows to run
		separate daemon or even a completely independent (3rd party)
		server capable of interfacing with samba via the MS-RPC
		interface over named pipes.

		Currently in Samba3 we support thre daemons, spoolssd, epmd and

		<emphasis>rpc_daemon</emphasis> option. For spoolssd you have
		to to enable the deamon and proxy the named pipe with:

	<para>
		There is one special option which allows you to enable rpc
		services to listen for ncacn_ip_tcp connections too. Currently
		this is only used for testing and doesn't scale!
