This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script parameter is run in debug mode. In this mode the strings passed to and received from the passwd chat are printed in the smbd 8 log with a debug level of 100. This is a dangerous option as it will allow plaintext passwords to be seen in the smbd log.

This option has no effect if the pam password change paramter is set. This parameter is off by default. See also passwd chat , pam password change , passwd program . Default: passwd chat debug = no
