"testparm  -  check an smb.conf configuration file for internal correct-
       ness"

If you write "passdb backend = fuck" into the smb.conf and run testparm, testparm
says the configuration file is OK. It obviously isn't OK - passdb backend fuck
doesn't exist. Therefore testparm is broken.

testparm has never performed validation of parameter 
string values.
