- <para>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
- <constant>no</constant>.</para>
-
- <para>In order for this parameter to work correctly the <link linkend="ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">
- <parameter moreinfo="none">encrypt passwords</parameter></link> parameter must
- be set to <constant>no</constant> when this parameter is set to <constant>yes</constant>.</para>
-
- <para>Note that even when this parameter is set a user
- authenticating to <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> must still enter a valid
- password in order to connect correctly, and to update their hashed
- (smbpasswd) passwords.</para>
-
- <para>Default: <command moreinfo="none">update encrypted = no</command></para>
