+ <para>For the SMB2 protocol, by design, signing cannot be disabled. In the case
+ where SMB2 is negotiated, if this parameter is set to <emphasis>disabled</emphasis>,
+ it will be treated as <emphasis>auto</emphasis>. Setting it to <emphasis>mandatory</emphasis>
+ will still require SMB2 clients to use signing.</para>
