<samba:parameter name="restrict anonymous"
type="integer"
context="G"

xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
<description>
<para>The setting of this parameter determines whether user and
group list information is returned for an anonymous connection.
and mirrors the effects of the
<programlisting>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\
Control\\LSA\\RestrictAnonymous
</programlisting>
registry key in Windows 2000 and Windows NT. When set to 0, user
and group list information is returned to anyone who asks. When set
to 1, only an authenticated user can retrive user and
group list information. For the value 2, supported by
Windows 2000/XP and Samba, no anonymous connections are allowed at
all. This can break third party and Microsoft
applications which expect to be allowed to perform
operations anonymously.</para>
<para>
The security advantage of using restrict anonymous = 1 is dubious,
as user and group list information can be obtained using other
means.
</para>
<note>
<para>
The security advantage of using restrict anonymous = 2 is removed
by setting <smbconfoption name="guest ok">yes</smbconfoption> on any share.
