+<description>
+    <para>
+    This parameter controls whether Samba substitutes %-macros in the passdb
+    fields if they are explicitly set. We used to expand macros here, but this
+    turned out to be a bug because the Windows client can expand a variable
+    %G_osver% in which %G would have been substituted by the user's primary
+    group.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+    If you rely on this behaviour, you have to set it explicitly to 'yes'
