    <para>This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords 
    will be negotiated with the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and 
    above and also Windows 98 will by default expect encrypted passwords 
    unless a registry entry is changed. To use encrypted passwords in 
	Samba see the chapter "User Database" in the Samba HOWTO Collection. </para>

    <para>In order for encrypted passwords to work correctly
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> must either 
    have access to a local <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbpasswd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file (see the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbpasswd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> program for information on how to set up 
    and maintain this file), or set the <link linkend="SECURITY">security = [server|domain|ads]</link> parameter which 
    causes <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> to authenticate against another 
    server.</para>
