<para>This parameter controls whether winbindd will replace
whitespace in user and group names with an underscore (_) character.
For example, whether the name &quot;Space Kadet&quot; should be
replaced with the string &quot;space_kadet&quot;.
Frequently Unix shell scripts will have difficulty with usernames

contains whitespace due to the default field separator in the shell.
If your domain possesses names containing the underscore character,
this option may cause problems unless the name aliasing feature
is supported by your nss_info plugin.

<para>This feature also enables the name aliasing API which can
be used to make domain user and group names to a non-qlaified
version. Please refer to the manpage for the configured
idmap and nss_info plugin for the specifics on how to configure
name aliasing for a specific configuration. Name aliasing takes
precendence (and is mutually exclusive) over the whitespace
replacement mechanism discussed previsouly.
