Yes, it does affect the DC that is asked, but I mean a default for users.
We would like users to be able to use "username" when prompted for login
rather than "domain+username", unless using a non-default domain.

Whoops, I meant "libsmbclient", but the parameter is far from final.
It was just recently discussed in a tangent of the smb:// discussion.

Could a Samba server be in workgroup "WG" and yet join domain "DM"?
(presumably to limit browsing)  The users would then be users of "DM"
and would need to supply "DM+username", but the workgroup parameter
in smb.conf would need to say "WG".
