<samba:parameter xmlns:samba="http://samba.org/common">
		<term><anchor id="AUTHMETHODS"/>auth methods (G)</term>
		<listitem><para>This option allows the administrator to chose what
                authentication methods <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will use when authenticating
                a user.  This option defaults to sensible values based on <link linkend="SECURITY"><parameter moreinfo="none">
		security</parameter></link>.

                Each entry in the list attempts to authenticate the user in turn, until
                the user authenticates.  In practice only one method will ever actually 
                be able to complete the authentication.
