9         If a Samba server is a member of a Windows NT Domain (see the <smbconfoption
10         name="security">domain</smbconfoption> parameter) then periodically a running smbd process will try and change
11         the MACHINE ACCOUNT PASSWORD stored in the TDB called <filename moreinfo="none">private/secrets.tdb
12         </filename>.  This parameter specifies how often this password will be changed, in seconds. The default is one
13         week (expressed in seconds), the same as a Windows NT Domain member server.
