<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="UTMP"/>utmp (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This boolean parameter is only available if
		Samba has been configured and compiled  with the option <command moreinfo="none">
		--with-utmp</command>. If set to <constant>yes</constant> then Samba will attempt
		to add utmp or utmpx records (depending on the UNIX system) whenever a
		connection is made to a Samba server. Sites may use this to record the
		user connecting to a Samba share.</para>

	        <para>Due to the requirements of the utmp record, we
	        are required to create a unique identifier for the
	        incoming user.  Enabling this option creates an n^2
	        algorithm to find this number.  This may impede
	        performance on large installations. </para>
