+ help
+ Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have
+ additional security features, including protection against
+ man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
+ of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.
+
+ Disabling this option prevents users from using vers=1.0 or vers=2.0
+ on mounts with cifs.ko
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
