		<listitem><para>This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords 
		will be negotiated with the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and 
		above and also Windows 98 will by default expect encrypted passwords 
		unless a registry entry is changed. To use encrypted passwords in 
		Samba see the file ENCRYPTION.txt in the Samba documentation 
		directory <filename moreinfo="none">docs/</filename> shipped with the source code.</para>

		<para>In order for encrypted passwords to work correctly
		<citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> must either 
		have access to a local <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbpasswd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file (see the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbpasswd</refentrytitle>
		<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> program for information on how to set up 
 		and maintain this file), or set the <link linkend="SECURITY">security = [server|domain|ads]</link> parameter which 
		causes <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> to authenticate against another 
		server.</para>
