9 <para>This parameter specifies the name of a service
10 which will be connected to if the service actually requested cannot
11 be found. Note that the square brackets are <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
12 given in the parameter value (see example below).</para>
14 <para>There is no default value for this parameter. If this
15 parameter is not given, attempting to connect to a nonexistent
16 service results in an error.</para>
19 Typically the default service would be a <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/>, <smbconfoption
20 name="read only"/> service.</para> <para>Also note that the apparent service name will be changed to equal
21 that of the requested service, this is very useful as it allows you to use macros like <parameter
22 moreinfo="none">%S</parameter> to make a wildcard service.
25 <para>Note also that any "_" characters in the name of the service
26 used in the default service will get mapped to a "/". This allows for
27 interesting things.</para>
