+ <para>This feature also enables the name aliasing API which can
+ be used to make domain user and group names to a non-qlaified
+ version. Please refer to the manpage for the configured
+ idmap and nss_info plugin for the specifics on how to configure
+ name aliasing for a specific configuration. Name aliasing takes
+ precendence (and is mutually exclusive) over the whitespace
+ replacement mechanism discussed previsouly.
