- <para>
- 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 users have encrypted representations of their passwords
- in the smbpasswd file this parameter should be set to <constant>no</constant>.
- </para>

- <para>
- In order for this parameter to be operative the <smbconfoption name="encrypt passwords"/> parameter must
- be set to <constant>no</constant>. The default value of <smbconfoption name="encrypt
- passwords">Yes</smbconfoption>. Note: This must be set to <constant>no</constant> for this <smbconfoption
- name="update encrypted"/> to work.
- </para>

- <para>
- Note that even when this parameter is set, a user authenticating to <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command>
- must still enter a valid password in order to connect correctly, and to update their hashed (smbpasswd)
- passwords.
