-	Defines what kind of rpc server to use for a named pipe.
-	The rpc_server prefix must be followed by the pipe name, and a value.
+		With this option you can define if a rpc service should be
+		running internal/embedded in smbd or should be redirected to an
+		external daemon like Samba4, the endpoint mapper daemon, the
+		spoolss daemon or the new LSA service daemon. The rpc_server
+		prefix must be followed by the pipe name, and a value.

+		There is one special option which allows you to enable rpc
