+	help
+	  Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
+	  (since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
+	  security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
+	  than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
+          SMB protocol needed to establish sessions with old SMB servers.
+
+	  Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
+	  LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
+	  mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
+	  security mechanisms if you are on a public network.  Unless you
+	  have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private 
+	  network) you probably want to say N.  Even if this support
+	  is enabled in the kernel build, they will not be used
+	  automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
+	  can be set to required (or optional) either in
+	  /proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
+	  option on the mount command. This support is disabled by 
+	  default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
+	  attack.
+ 
+	  If unsure, say N.
