    <para>This parameter determines whether or not <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbclient</refentrytitle>
    <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and other samba client
    tools will attempt to authenticate itself to servers using the
    weaker LANMAN password hash. If disabled, only server which support NT 
    password hashes (e.g. Windows NT/2000, Samba, etc... but not 
    Windows 95/98) will be able to be connected from the Samba client.</para>

    <para>The LANMAN encrypted response is easily broken, due to its
    case-insensitive nature, and the choice of algorithm.  Clients
    without Windows 95/98 servers are advised to disable
    this option.  </para>

    <para>Disabling this option will also disable the <command
    moreinfo="none">client plaintext auth</command> option.</para>

    <para>Likewise, if the <command moreinfo="none">client ntlmv2
    auth</command> parameter is enabled, then only NTLMv2 logins will be
    attempted.</para>
