Synopsis

Allowable values: YES, NO

Default: NO

Denies access to users who do not supply a username. This is disabled by default because when the Samba server acts as the domain’s PDC, the option can keep a client from revalidating its computer account when someone new logs in. Use of the option is recommended only when all clients are Windows NT/2000/XP systems.
