Well I know of some sites that use it, unfortunately.

It does do exactly what the man page says, so it isn't
really in error.

Maybe we should mark it 'deprecated' and 'to be removed'
and add a warning for it in testparm and wait a couple 
of releases before we just hack it out.

Ah, backwards compatibility, both Microsoft & Samba
