<para>This option allows the administrator to chose which backends
|
|
to retrieve and store passwords with. This allows (for example) both
|
|
smbpasswd and tdbsam to be used without a recompile. Multiple
|
|
backends can be specified, separated by spaces. The backends will be
|
|
searched in the order they are specified. New users are always added
|
|
to the first backend specified. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This parameter is in two parts, the backend's name, and a 'location'
|
|
string that has meaning only to that particular backed. These are separated
|
|
by a : character.</para>
