	<para>This parameter specifies whether the
	 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>winbindd</refentrytitle> 
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon should operate on users  
	without domain component in their username. Users without a domain
	component are treated as is part of the winbindd server's own
	domain. While this does not benefit Windows users, it makes SSH, FTP and
	e-mail function in a way much closer to the way they
	would in a native unix system.</para>
	<para>This option should be avoided if possible. It can cause confusion
	about responsibilities for a user or group. In many situations it is
	not clear whether winbind or /etc/passwd should be seen as authoritative
	for a user, likewise for groups.</para>
