+       <para>This parameter controls whether or not smbd will honor
+        privileges assigned to specific SIDs via either <command>net rpc rights</command>
+        or one of the Windows user and group manager tools.  This parameter is 
+       disabled by default to prevent members of the Domain Admins group from 
+       being able to assign privileges to user which can then result in certain
+       smbd operations running as root that would normally run under the context 
+       of the connected user.  </para>

+       <para>An example of how privileges can be used is to assign
+       the right to join clients to a Samba controller domain without
+       providing root access to the server via smbd.</para>

+       <para>Please read the extended description provided in the
