+ <listitem><para> controls the algorithm used for the generating
+ the mangled names. Can take two different values, &quot;hash&quot; and
+ &quot;hash2&quot;. &quot;hash&quot; is the default and is the algorithm that has been
+ used in Samba for many years. &quot;hash2&quot; is a newer and considered
+ a better algorithm (generates less collisions) in the names.
+ However, many Win32 applications store the mangled names and so
+ changing to the new algorithm must not be done
+ lightly as these applications may break unless reinstalled.</para>
