    <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">

    <para>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.
