This boolean specifies if the passwd chat script parameter is run
in 'debug' mode. In this mode the strings passed to and received from the
passwd chat are printed in the smbd log with a debug level of 100. This
is a dangerous option as it will allow plaintext passwords to be seen
in the smbd log. It is available to help Samba admins debug their passwd
chat scripts and should be turned off after this has been done. This parameter
is off by default. <P>

This boolean parameter controlls whether Samba attempts to synchronise the
UNIX password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in
the smbpasswd file is changed. If this is set to Yes the

This boolean parameter allows a user logging on with a plaintext password to
have their encrypted (hashed) password in the smbpasswd file to be updated
automatically as they log on. This option allows a site to migrate from
plaintext password authentication (users authenticate with plaintext
password over the wire, and are checked against a UNIX account database) to
encrypted password authentication (the SMB challenge/response authentication
mechanism) without forcing all users to re-enter their passwords via smbpasswd
at the time the change is made. This is a convenience option to allow the
change over to encrypted passwords to be made over a longer period. Once all
users have encrypted representations of their passwords in the smbpasswd file \
this parameter should be set to "No". <P>
In order for this parameter to work correctly the
i<A HREF="#encrypt passwords">encrypt passwords</A> must be set to "No" when
this parameter is set to "Yes". <P>
Note that even when this parameter is set a user authenticating to smbd must
still enter a valid password in order to connect correctly, and to update their
hashed (smbpasswd) passwords. <P>
