BUG: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14117 Signed-off-by: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Garming Sam <garming@catalyst.net.nz> (cherry picked from commit 8d0d99a4d78ba408bb45e2d693049025e60e277a)

+ or Kerberos authentication)
+ will be removed in a future Samba release.</para>
+ <para>That is, in the future, the current default of
+ <command>encrypt passwords = yes</command>
+ will be the enforced behaviour.</para>
<para>This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords
will be negotiated with the client. Note that Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and
above and also Windows 98 will by default expect encrypted passwords
