3 <listitem><para> controls the algorithm used for the generating
4 the mangled names. Can take two different values, "hash" and
5 "hash2". "hash" is the default and is the algorithm that has been
6 used in Samba for many years. "hash2" is a newer and considered
7 a better algorithm (generates less collisions) in the names.
8 However, many Win32 applications store the mangled names and so
9 changing to the new algorithm must not be done
10 lightly as these applications may break unless reinstalled.</para>
