tells me that the default setting is 'dontcare'. The manpage is valid
for Samba 4.13.3, according to the text in the 'VERSION' section.

Thanks Rowland. I hope the manpage is going to be updated soon?

Is there a CLI way to show what the default settings of modules are? testparm -v
doesn't show default settings for modules.


Thanks,
