Hello
Why is it necessary to specify
encrypt passwords = no
to make Samba server start using solely /etc/passwd?
Isn't it possible to tell Samba server that on the way between a client
and the server, the passwords sould be encrypted, and after decryption,
they will be checked against /etc/passwd and not smbpasswd, tdb or
whatever backend?
