[Samba] Samba authentication via pam

[Mike Klein]

I don't think unencrypted passwords=no will be a problem for me as I am
running on my own private LAN.

I don't expose smb traffic over the internet, and when I need samba remotely
I do it via vpn/pptp.

In my test last night I forgot to set unencryptedpasswords=no...thanks for
the reminder.

Yes it is possible, but everyone recomend against it, because it
requires you to specify encrypt password = no in your smb.conf and
various registry patches on your clients. The worst thing would be, that
in that case every password would be sent in cear text over the wire.
