<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>
