    <para>This parameter determines whether or not
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> will send the
    server-supplied principal sometimes given in the SPNEGO
    exchange.</para>

    <para>If enabled, Samba can attempt to help clients to use
    Kerberos to contact it, even when known only by IP address or a
    name not registered with our KDC as a service principal name.
    Kerberos relies on names, so ordinarily cannot function in this
    situation. </para>

    <para>If disabled, Samba will send the string
    not_defined_in_RFC4178@please_ignore as the 'rfc4178 hint',
    following the updated RFC and Windows 2008 behaviour in this area.
    </para>

    <para>Note that Windows XP SP2 and later versions already ignored
    this value in all circumstances. </para>
