- <para>
- This option allows the administrator to chose what authentication methods <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command>
- will use when authenticating a user. This option defaults to sensible values based on <smbconfoption name="security"/>.
- This should be considered a developer option and used only in rare circumstances. In the majority (if not all)
- of production servers, the default setting should be adequate.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Each entry in the list attempts to authenticate the user in turn, until
- the user authenticates. In practice only one method will ever actually
- be able to complete the authentication.

- <para>
- Possible options include <constant>guest</constant> (anonymous access),
- <constant>sam</constant> (lookups in local list of accounts based on netbios
- name or domain name), <constant>winbind</constant> (relay authentication requests
- for remote users through winbindd), <constant>ntdomain</constant> (pre-winbindd
- method of authentication for remote domain users; deprecated in favour of winbind method),
- <constant>trustdomain</constant> (authenticate trusted users by contacting the
- remote DC directly from smbd; deprecated in favour of winbind method).
