	<para>If a Samba server is a member of a Windows 
		NT Domain (see the <smbconfoption name="security">domain</smbconfoption>
	parameter) then periodically a running smbd
	 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>

	<para>See also <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbpasswd</refentrytitle>
			<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and the <smbconfoption name="security">domain</smbconfoption> parameter.</para>
