[Samba] winbind separator '\'

[Karel Kulhavy]

Hello

I get response from getent passwd in the form of
DOMAIN'\'username:x:number:number:name:/home/winnt/DOMAIN/usr:/bin/bash

The entry in smb.conf is winbind separator = '\'

Why are there the apostrophes around \ in the entry? Shouldn't there be
bare \ in that entry?

I tried putting \ instead of '\' into smb.conf but the config file even
doesn't get parsed - it reports syntax error on the next line.
