How to limit a site to only see users who are a member of that site

Just stumbled across this piece of info in the technet2 doco.

You can set the peoplepicker-onlysearchwithinsitecollection property to yes to only show users that are a member of that site. This is great for extranet type site collections that you want to stop them from browsing all of you AD to find details on your users.

The example syntax given on the site is:-

stsadm -o setproperty –url http://server –pn peoplepicker-onlysearchwithinsitecollection –pv yes

Note that if a user knows the fully qualified login name they can still select those names.
