- <para>If this global parameter is a non-null string,
- it specifies the name of a file to read for the names of hosts
- and users who will be allowed access without specifying a password.
- </para>

- <para>This is not be confused with <smbconfoption name="hosts allow"/> which is about hosts
- access to services and is more useful for guest services. <parameter moreinfo="none">
- hosts equiv</parameter> may be useful for NT clients which will
- not supply passwords to Samba.</para>
-
- <note><para>The use of <parameter moreinfo="none">hosts equiv
- </parameter> can be a major security hole. This is because you are
- trusting the PC to supply the correct username. It is very easy to
- get a PC to supply a false username. I recommend that the
- <parameter moreinfo="none">hosts equiv</parameter> option be only used if you really
- know what you are doing, or perhaps on a home network where you trust
- your spouse and kids. And only if you <emphasis>really</emphasis> trust
- them :-).</para></note>
