   8                 This controls the backend for storing the configuration.
   9                 Possible values are <emphasis>file</emphasis> (the default)
  10                 and <emphasis>registry</emphasis>.
  11                 When <smbconfoption name="config backend">registry</smbconfoption>
  12                  is encountered while loading <emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis>,
  13                 the configuration read so far is dropped and the global
  14                 options are read from registry instead. So this triggers a
  15                 registry only configuration. Share definitions are not read
  16                 immediately but instead <parameter>registry
  17                 shares</parameter> is set to <emphasis>yes</emphasis>.
  18         </para>
  19         <para>
  20                 Note: This option can not be set inside the registry
  21                 configuration itself.
