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