Hi Craig,
Thanks, I'll think I'll research about option 2.
Best regards,
Nestor

2 ways I know of...
1 - Heavily NOT recommended...use /etc/passwd file - that means ALL
windows machines must be taught (registry) not to use encryption and
smb.conf must be likewise configured not to use encryption.
2 - use ldap backend.
see http://samba.org/samba/docs/ for details
