    <para>This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script 
    parameter is run in <emphasis>debug</emphasis> mode. In this mode the 
    strings passed to and received from the passwd chat are printed 
    in the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> log with a 
    <link linkend="DEBUGLEVEL"><parameter moreinfo="none">debug level</parameter></link> 
    of 100. This is a dangerous option as it will allow plaintext passwords 
    to be seen in the <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> log. It is available to help 
    Samba admins debug their <parameter moreinfo="none">passwd chat</parameter> scripts 
    when calling the <parameter moreinfo="none">passwd program</parameter> and should 
    be turned off after this has been done. This option has no effect if the 
    <link linkend="PAMPASSWORDCHANGE"><parameter moreinfo="none">pam password change</parameter></link>
    paramter is set. This parameter is off by default.</para>
