samba - Aug 2016 - Documentation error

I'm alerting that the documentation found
https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/smb.conf.5.html#ALLOWDNSUPDATES
Describes the options available for 'allow dns updates' to be
'disabled', 'secure', 'enabled' or 'nonsecure';

--DNS updates can either be disallowed completely by setting it to disabled,
enabled over secure connections only by setting it to secure or allowed in all
cases by setting it to enabled or nonsecure.

I have just verified that 'enabled' does not operate as a synonym for
'nonsecure' as this page suggests on version 4.3.9, and presumably any
following packages.

This has been fixed in 4.5

          DNS updates can either be disallowed completely by setting it to
           disabled, enabled over secure connections only by setting it to
           secure only or allowed in all cases by setting it to nonsecure.

It may have been fixed.  I was pointing out that the online docs don't
portray this fix, and as such leave this arbitrary.
