<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="DEFAULTSERVICE"/>default service (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This parameter specifies the name of a service
		which will be connected to if the service actually requested cannot
		be found. Note that the square brackets are <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
		given in the parameter value (see example below).</para>

		<para>There is no default value for this parameter. If this 
		parameter is not given, attempting to connect to a nonexistent 
		service results in an error.</para>

		<para>Typically the default service would be a <link linkend="GUESTOK">
		<parameter moreinfo="none">guest ok</parameter></link>, <link linkend="READONLY">
		<parameter moreinfo="none">read-only</parameter></link> service.</para>

		<para>Also note that the apparent service name will be changed 
		to equal that of the requested service, this is very useful as it 
		allows you to use macros like <parameter moreinfo="none">%S</parameter> to make 
		a wildcard service.</para>

		<para>Note also that any &quot;_&quot; characters in the name of the service 
		used in the default service will get mapped to a &quot;/&quot;. This allows for
		interesting things.</para>


		<para>Example:</para>
		
<para><programlisting format="linespecific">
[global]
	default service = pub
        
[pub]
	path = /%S
</programlisting></para>
		</listitem>
		</samba:parameter>
