		<listitem><para>If a Samba server is a member of a Windows 
		NT Domain (see the <link linkend="SECURITYEQUALSDOMAIN">security = domain</link>) 
		parameter) then periodically a running <ulink url="smbd.8.html">
		smbd(8)</ulink> process will try and change the MACHINE ACCOUNT 
		PASSWORD stored in the TDB called <filename moreinfo="none">private/secrets.tdb
		</filename>.  This parameter specifies how often this password 
		will be changed, in seconds. The default is one week (expressed in 
		seconds), the same as a Windows NT Domain member server.</para>
