 	It is possible to use command-line completion (if you have
 	the GNU readline library) for Service names, by pressing the

+		(or look them up in a remote Trusting or Trusted PDC's SAM
+		database if there is an appropriate Trust Relationship
+		established).  The result is a list of names, of the

+		The names, which can be user, group or alias names, will
+		either be looked up in the local SAM database or in a remote
+		Trusting or Trusted PDC's SAM database, if there is an
+		appropriate Trust Relationship established.  The optional
+		Domain name component is the name of a SAM database, which

 dit(SAM Database command-completion)
 Command-completion (available if you have the GNU readline library) of user,
 group and alias names does not work on remote Domains, which would normally
 be specified like this: nl()

 The only names that can be completed in this fashion are the local names
 in the SAM database of the target server.

+Due to current limitations in the rpcclient MSRPC / SMB code, and due to
+the extremely poor MSRPC implementation (by Microsoft) of the spooler

+fields associated with the printers), this command will fail.  The
+limitations require further research to be carried out; we're stuck with
