<description>
    <para>The concept of a &quot;port&quot; is fairly foreign
    to UNIX hosts.  Under Windows NT/2000 print servers, a port
    is associated with a port monitor and generally takes the form of
    a local port (i.e. LPT1:, COM1:, FILE:) or a remote port
    (i.e. LPD Port Monitor, etc...).  By default, Samba has only one
    port defined--<constant>&quot;Samba Printer Port&quot;</constant>.  Under 
    Windows NT/2000, all printers must have a valid port name.  
    If you wish to have a list of ports displayed (<command moreinfo="none">smbd
    </command> does not use a port name for anything) other than 
    the default <constant>&quot;Samba Printer Port&quot;</constant>, you 
    can define <parameter moreinfo="none">enumports command</parameter> to point to
    a program which should generate a list of ports, one per line,
    to standard output.  This listing will then be used in response
    to the level 1 and 2 EnumPorts() RPC.</para>
