+ ticket verification (default)</para></listitem>

+ <para>
+ The major difference between "system keytab" and "dedicated
+ keytab" is that the latter method relies on kerberos to find the
+ correct keytab entry instead of filtering based on expected
+ principals.

+ <para>
+ When the kerberos method is in "dedicated keytab" mode,
+ <smbconfoption name="dedicated keytab file"/> must be set to
+ specify the location of the keytab file.
