The people who either doesn't know what they are doing (but know what
they want) and don't have a clue of what they need to search for and how
to turn it on, may benefit from it being on, it working correctly in
those cases where it does work! ;-)
Actually I don't know of a case where the user wants ntsec to be ignored
just because the file system is mounted (again, assuming it works
properly in their environment).
Which situations does it not work reliably in? Does it work reliably
when there is all Windows systems involved (sans 9x), which I would
think would be a pretty common situation? Does it just have problems
with some versions of Samba?
