When a client tries to connect to the Samba server in this
mode, its username and password are sent to a Windows NT Primary or Backup Domain
controller. This is accomplished the same way that a Windows NT server would perform
validation. Valid Linux user accounts must still be set up.
Encrypt passwords??”Controls whether encrypted passwords can be negotiated with
the client. This is on (Yes) by default. For domain security, this value must be Yes. Later
versions of Windows NT (4.0 SP3 or later) and Windows 98 and Windows 2000 expect
encrypted passwords to be on.
Update encrypted??”Allows users who log in with a plain-text password to automatically
have their passwords updated to encrypted passwords when they log in. Normally,
this option is off. Turn it on when you want an installation using plain-text passwords to
have everyone updated to encrypted password authentication. It saves users the trouble
of running the smbpasswd command directly from the server. After everyone is updated,
this feature can be turned off. When this option is on, the Encrypt passwords option
should be set to No.
Obey PAM restrictions??”Turn this on (Yes) if you want to use PAM for account and
session management. Even if activated, PAM is not used if the encrypted passwords feature
is turned on (encrypt passwords = yes).
