- <para>If you set <value type="example">clustering=yes</value>,
- you need to tell Samba where ctdbd listens on its unix domain
- socket. The default path as of ctdb 1.0 is /tmp/ctdb.socket which
- you have to explicitly set for Samba in smb.conf.

+ <para>
+ In a test environment, this parameter can be used when
+ <value type="example">clustering=yes</value> to specify an alternate
+ location for the CTDB Unix domain socket.
