-# auth_default = des
+## auth_default disabled gives the old 'default' behaviour. Otherwise
+## it accepts any of: best, sha1, md5 or des (case insensitive), and is
+## used by passwd. Best will currently give SHA1 support. When using
+## NIS with hosts that do not support MD5 or SHA1, you should select
+## DES only.
