RE: smb_auth failing

Quote from the "smb proxy authentication module" document at
http://www.hacom.nl/~richard/software/smb_auth.html

If you want to change the location of the proxyauth file (for instance
because your NETLOGON share is located on a FAT filesystem) then you can use
the -S
option to specify a different share (make sure you are replicating this
share to the backup domain controllers):

    smb_auth -W domain -S share

             ------- end quote --------

Does the smb_auth require the proxyauth file to be on an ntfs file system?
I haven't found any documentation clarifying this statement.
