I've heard this conversation many times, and I understand the
reluctance to change parameter names that are already in so
much documentation.

Perhaps this could be addressed more simply.  By adding an
alias for security mode "user" named "pdc", or something
along those lines.  Then, when someone sees the choices of:
"share, user, domain, pdc", they would be more likely to
choose the right one.  If nothing else, the presence of
another domain-like possibility might make them read more
closely.

This doesn't disturb any of the existing documentation, and
would cause far less confusion than a complete renaming.
Best of all, the code impact would be minimal.

Opinions?
