Name
bind interfaces only = boolean — [global]
Synopsis
Allowable values: YES, NO
Default: NO
If set to YES, shares and browsing are provided only on interfaces in
an interfaces list (see
interfaces
). If you set this option to YES, be
sure to add 127.0.0.1 to the interfaces list to allow
smbpasswd to connect to the local system to
change passwords. This is a convenience option; it does not improve
security.
