+Authentication Changes
+======================
 
-o
+Previously, when Samba was a domain member and a client was connecting using an
+untrusted domain name, such as BOGUS\user smbd would remap the untrusted
+domain to the primary domain smbd was a member of and attempt authentication
+using that DOMAIN\user name.  This differed from how a Windows member server
+would behave.  Now, smbd will replace the BOGUS name with it's SAM name.  In
+the case where smbd is acting as a PDC this will be DOMAIN\user.  In the case
+where smbd is acting as a domain member server this will be WORKSTATION\user.
+Thus, smbd will never assume that an incoming user name which is not qualified
+with the same primary domain, is part of smbd's primary domain.
 
+While this behavior matches Windows, it may break some workflows which depended
+on smbd to always pass through bogus names to the DC for verification.  A new
+parameter "map untrusted to domain" can be enabled to revert to the legacy
+behavior.
