<description>
	<para>This parameter specifies the name of a service
	which will be connected to if the service actually requested cannot
	be found. Note that the square brackets are <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
	given in the parameter value (see example below).</para>

	<para>There is no default value for this parameter. If this 
	parameter is not given, attempting to connect to a nonexistent 
	service results in an error.</para>

	<para>
	Typically the default service would be a <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/>, <smbconfoption
	name="read-only"/> service.</para> <para>Also note that the apparent service name will be changed to equal
	that of the requested service, this is very useful as it allows you to use macros like <parameter
	moreinfo="none">%S</parameter> to make a wildcard service.
	</para>

	<para>Note also that any &quot;_&quot; characters in the name of the service 
	used in the default service will get mapped to a &quot;/&quot;. This allows for
	interesting things.</para>
