+ <para>This parameter determines whether or not <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will attempt to
+ authenticate users or permit password changes
+ using the LANMAN password hash. If disabled, only clients which support NT
+ password hashes (e.g. Windows NT/2000 clients, smbclient, but not
+ Windows 95/98 or the MS DOS network client) will be able to
+ connect to the Samba host.</para>
+
+ <para>The LANMAN encrypted response is easily broken, due to it's
+ case-insensitive nature, and the choice of algorithm. Servers
+ without Windows 95/98/ME or MS DOS clients are advised to disable
+ this option. </para>
+
+ <para>Unlike the <command moreinfo="none">encrypt
+ passwords</command> option, this parameter cannot alter client
+ behaviour, and the LANMAN response will still be sent over the
+ network. See the <command moreinfo="none">client lanman
+ auth</command> to disable this for Samba's clients (such as smbclient)</para>
+
+ <para>If this option, and <command moreinfo="none">ntlm
+ auth</command> are both disabled, then only NTLMv2 logins will be
+ permited. Not all clients support NTLMv2, and most will require
+ special configuration to use it.</para>
