 # It is just the beginnings of a greater scheme.
 
-# 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.
