Bug Description

IMHO, enabling this option should not be regarded as a net reduction in security because support for the same weak password handling is also available by way of the smbfs driver (which is still enabled even if the samba package no longer supports it), and negotiation of pre-NTLM passwords can still be disabled at runtime via a /proc setting.
Please consider enabling this setting for hardy.

Enabling CONFIG_ CIFS_WEAK_ PW_HASH should also actually fix https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ samba/+ bug/112839 by making mount.cifs work without the need to build custom kernels.
