<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="CONFIGFILE"/>config file (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This allows you to override the config file 
		to use, instead of the default (usually <filename moreinfo="none">smb.conf</filename>). 
		There is a chicken and egg problem here as this option is set 
		in the config file!</para>

		<para>For this reason, if the name of the config file has changed 
		when the parameters are loaded then it will reload them from 
		the new config file.</para>

		<para>This option takes the usual substitutions, which can 
		be very useful.</para>

		<para>If the config file doesn't exist then it won't be loaded 
		(allowing you to special case the config files of just a few 
		clients).</para>

		<para>Example: <command moreinfo="none">config file = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%m
		</command></para></listitem>
