    <para>This SMB allows a client to tell a server to 
    &quot;watch&quot; a particular directory for any changes and only reply to
    the SMB request when a change has occurred. Such constant scanning of
    a directory is expensive under UNIX, hence an <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon only performs such a scan 
    on each requested directory once every <parameter moreinfo="none">change notify 
    timeout</parameter> seconds.</para>
</description>

<value type="default">60</value>
<value type="example">300<comment>Would change the scan time to every 5 minutes.</comment></value>
