+This boolean parameter allows a user logging on with a plaintext password to 
+have their encrypted (hashed) password in the smbpasswd file to be updated 
+automatically as they log on. This option allows a site to migrate from 
+plaintext password authentication (users  authenticate with plaintext 
+password over the wire, and are checked against a UNIX account database) to 
+encrypted password authentication (the SMB challenge/response authentication 
+mechanism) without forcing all users to re-enter their passwords via smbpasswd 
+at the time the change is made. This is a convenience option to allow the 
+change over to encrypted passwords to be made over a longer period. Once all
