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