*===* SECURITY NOTES *===*
The users' encrypted passwords are stored in
${SAMBA_PRIVATE}/smbpasswd
with owner ${ROOT_USER}, group ${ROOT_GROUP}), and file mode 0600.
These encrypted passwords are _PASSWORD_EQUIVALENT_ from the viewpoint of
the SMB protocol. Do _NOT_ weaken the permissions of this file unless
there is a very good reason.
Please note that even if you pkg_delete ${PKGNAME}, the smbpasswd file
will remain on the system. If you don't intend to use this package
anymore, then it is _STRONGLY_ recommended that you remove the smbpasswd
file manually.
