Name

bind interfaces only = boolean — [global]

Synopsis

Allowable values: YES, NO

Default: NO

If set to YES, shares and browsing are provided only on interfaces in an interfaces list (see interfaces). If you set this option to YES, be sure to add 127.0.0.1 to the interfaces list to allow smbpasswd to connect to the local system to change passwords. This is a convenience option; it does not improve security.
