The people who either doesn't know what they are doing (but know what 
they want) and don't have a clue of what they need to search for and how 
to turn it on, may benefit from it being on, it working correctly in 
those cases where it does work! ;-)

Actually I don't know of a case where the user wants ntsec to be ignored 
just because the file system is mounted (again, assuming it works 
properly in their environment).

Which situations does it not work reliably in? Does it work reliably 
when there is all Windows systems involved (sans 9x), which I would 
think would be a pretty common situation? Does it just have problems 
with some versions of Samba?
