<listitem>
<para>This boolean parameter is only available if
Samba has been configured and compiled with the option <command moreinfo="none">
--with-utmp</command>. If set to <constant>yes</constant> then Samba will attempt
to add utmp or utmpx records (depending on the UNIX system) whenever a
connection is made to a Samba server. Sites may use this to record the
user connecting to a Samba share.</para>
<para>Due to the requirements of the utmp record, we
are required to create a unique identifier for the
incoming user. Enabling this option creates an n^2
algorithm to find this number. This may impede
performance on large installations. </para>
