[Samba] Documented format of smbusers file??

The samba.org documentation page does not provide a man page for the possible formats
for the smbusers file.

I am fighting with samba->Active Directory and mapping AD users to Unix logins.

The AD guy says credentials can be either:

<Domain NetbiosName>/<lanid>

or 

<lanid>@<Domain FQDN>


BUT, I seem to be having luck (with some help from the log files) using:


unixuser = fqdn\lanid

and

unixuser = short-netbiosname\lanid

Neither of these is the UPN (<lanid>@<Domain FQDN>) format.


Are there docs someplace that discuss in detail the exact format of mappings in the smbusers file??

TIA-
