-                        This parameter determines whether Samba client tools
-                        will try to authenticate using Kerberos. For Kerberos
-                        authentication you need to use dns names instead of IP

+                       In case the ccache does not exist or -U|--user option
+                       was specified, clients will ask to enter a password and
+                       will obtain a Kerberos ticket (kinit) for you.
+
+                       If you want to use an alternative Kerberos credentical
+                       cache, use the --use-krb5-ccache option.
