+ <para>The setting of this parameter determines whether user and
+ group list information is returned for an anonymous connection.
+ and mirrors the effects of the
+<programlisting>
+HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
+ Control\LSA\RestrictAnonymous
+</programlisting>
+ registry key in Windows 2000 and Windows NT. When set to 0, user
+ and group list information is returned to anyone who asks. When set
+ to 1, only an authenticated user can retrive user and
+ group list information. For the value 2, supported by
+ Windows 2000/XP and Samba, no anonymous connections are allowed at
+ all. This can break third party and Microsoft
+ applications which expect to be allowed to perform
+ operations anonymously.</para>
+
+ <para>
+ The security advantage of using restrict anonymous = 1 is dubious,
+ as user and group list information can be obtained using other
+ means.

+ The security advantage of using restrict anonymous = 2 is removed
