+and other samba components acting as a client will attempt to use the server\-supplied principal sometimes given in the SPNEGO exchange\&.
+.sp
+If enabled, Samba can attempt to use Kerberos to contact servers known only by IP address\&. Kerberos relies on names, so ordinarily cannot function in this situation\&.
+.sp
+If disabled, Samba will use the name used to look up the server when asking the KDC for a ticket\&. This avoids situations where a server may impersonate another, soliciting authentication as one principal while being known on the network as another\&.
+.sp
+Note that Windows XP SP2 and later versions already follow this behaviour, and Windows Vista and later servers no longer supply this \'rfc4178 hint\' principal on the server side\&.
