+<title>Constantly Losing Connections to Password Server</title>
+
+<para>
+Why does server_validate() simply give up rather than re-establishing its connection to the
+password server? Though I am not fluent in the SMB protocol, perhaps the cluster server
+process passes along to its client workstation the session key it receives from the password
+server, which means the password hashes submitted by the client would not work on a subsequent
+connection, whose session key would be different. So server_validate() must give up.

+Indeed. That's why security = server is at best a nasty hack. Please use security = domain.
