Have you looked on the Internet for informtation? The SAMBA website
has this particular issue covered giving you a categorical answer.

Again, it doesn't appear that you've bothered to do your homework. Use 
the Internet. Believe it or not, writing documentation isn't a hobby

For the third time, do your homework. The mailing list archives cover
this issue in detail.
