7 This option only takes effect when the <smbconfoption name="security"/> option is set to
8 <constant>server</constant>, <constant>domain</constant> or <constant>ads</constant>.
9 If it is set to no, then attempts to connect to a resource from
10 a domain or workgroup other than the one which smbd is running
11 in will fail, even if that domain is trusted by the remote server
12 doing the authentication.</para>
14 <para>This is useful if you only want your Samba server to
15 serve resources to users in the domain it is a member of. As
16 an example, suppose that there are two domains DOMA and DOMB. DOMB
17 is trusted by DOMA, which contains the Samba server. Under normal
18 circumstances, a user with an account in DOMB can then access the
19 resources of a UNIX account with the same account name on the
20 Samba server even if they do not have an account in DOMA. This
21 can make implementing a security boundary difficult.</para>
