-Subject: NOTE ABOUT PASSWORDS
-=============================================================================
-
-Unix systems use a wide variety of methods for checking the validity
-of a password. This is primarily controlled with the Makefile defines
-mentioned in the Makefile.
-
-Also note that some clients (notably WfWg) uppercase the password
-before sending it. The server tries the password as it receives it and
-also after lowercasing it.
-
-The Samba server can also be configured to try different
-upper/lowercase combinations. This is controlled by the [global]
-parameter "password level". A level of N means to try all combinations
-up to N uppercase characters in the password. A high value can chew a
-fair bit of CPU time and can lower the security of your system. Do not
-use this options unless you really need it - the time taken for
-password checking can become so high that clients time out.
-
-If you do use the "password level" option then you might like to use
--DUFC_CRYPT in your Makefile. On some machine this makes password
-checking _much_ faster. This is also useful if you use the @group
-syntax in the user= option.
-
-If your site uses AFS (the Andrew File System), you can use the AFS section
-in the Makefile. This will first attempt to authenticate a username and
-password to AFS. If that succeeds, then the associated AFS rights will be
-granted. Otherwise, the password checking routine falls back to whatever
-Unix password checking method you are using. Note that the AFS code is
-only written and tested for AFS 3.3 and later.
-
-
-SECURITY = SERVER
-=================
-
-Samba can use a remote server to do it's username/password
-validation. This allows you to have one central machine (for example a
-NT box) control the passwords for the Unix box.
-
-See the section on "security =" in smb.conf(5) for details.
