+<description>
+ <para>This parameter specifies the name of a service
+ which will be connected to if the service actually requested cannot
+ be found. Note that the square brackets are <emphasis>NOT</emphasis>
+ given in the parameter value (see example below).</para>
+
+ <para>There is no default value for this parameter. If this
+ parameter is not given, attempting to connect to a nonexistent
+ service results in an error.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Typically the default service would be a <smbconfoption name="guest ok"/>, <smbconfoption
+ name="read-only"/> service.</para> <para>Also note that the apparent service name will be changed to equal
+ that of the requested service, this is very useful as it allows you to use macros like <parameter
+ moreinfo="none">%S</parameter> to make a wildcard service.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>Note also that any &quot;_&quot; characters in the name of the service
+ used in the default service will get mapped to a &quot;/&quot;. This allows for
+ interesting things.</para>
