<samba:parameter name="passwd chat debug" context="G" advanced="1" developer="1" type="boolean" xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc"> <description> <para>This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script parameter is run in <emphasis>debug</emphasis> mode. In this mode the strings passed to and received from the passwd chat are printed in the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> log with a <smbconfoption name="debug level"/> of 100. This is a dangerous option as it will allow plaintext passwords to be seen in the <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> log. It is available to help Samba admins debug their <parameter moreinfo="none">passwd chat</parameter> scripts when calling the <parameter moreinfo="none">passwd program</parameter> and should be turned off after this has been done. This option has no effect if the <smbconfoption name="pam password change"/> parameter is set. This parameter is off by default.</para> </description> <related>passwd chat</related> <related>pam password change</related> <related>passwd program</related> <value type="default">no</value> </samba:parameter>
