Supported SMB versions

One of the features of SMB is the ability to assign rights to machine (computer) accounts. The feature acts the same way as authentication of a normal user for an SMB session and can be used for authentication using machine accounts (SessionSetup SMB requests), and for management (add, delete, list) of rights for machine accounts. A machine account is generated automatically by the operating system and registered in Active Directory. It can be used for authentication within a domain. Machine account authentication can be only done by an application which has built-in support. For example, Hyper-V server allows storing virtual machines on remote shares. Such shares should allow full access for the machine account of a computer running Hyper-V server. Authenticated connections using machine accounts will show up in "connection" command output as if it was a normal user connection. The man pages for cifs-saa and cacls-add include an example of computer account use.
