mangling method (G)
controls the algorithm used for the generating the mangled names. Can 
take two different values, "hash" and "hash2". "hash" is the default and
                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
is the algorithm that has been used in Samba for many years. "hash2" is 
a newer and considered a better algorithm (generates less collisions) in 
the names. However, many Win32 applications store the mangled names and 
so changing to the new algorithm must not be done lightly as these 
applications may break unless reinstalled.

Default: mangling method = hash2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Example: mangling method = hash


But:
"hash" is not the default (this was in 2.2.x)
