You should always use smbpasswd, and always run 'encrypt passwords =
yes' for maximum stability.  Running unencrypted requires client-side
hacks (for modern clients) and exposes a number of 'interesting' client
behaviours.

I always recommend 'encrypt passwords = yes', particularly as without
it, none of Samba's domain capablilties can be used.
