+    <para>This parameter determines whether or not
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbclient</refentrytitle>
+    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and other samba components
+    acting as a client will attempt to use the server-supplied
+    principal sometimes given in the SPNEGO exchange.</para>
+
+    <para>If enabled, Samba can attempt to use Kerberos to contact
+    servers known only by IP address.  Kerberos relies on names, so
+    ordinarily cannot function in this situation. </para>
+
+    <para>If disabled, Samba will use the name used to look up the
+    server when asking the KDC for a ticket.  This avoids situations
+    where a server may impersonate another, soliciting authentication
+    as one principal while being known on the network as another.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>Note that Windows XP SP2 and later versions already follow
+    this behaviour, and Windows Vista and later servers no longer
+    supply this 'rfc4178 hint' principal on the server side.</para>
