In fact, it's likely to appear in two cases: one with any number of
trusted domains passwords and another with one password for 'our'
trusted account on PDC. Mixtures of above shuoldn't take place in clear

I've found interesting situation when having such a mixture and in domain
membership mode. Thanks to that I know we must be prepared for that
...just in case.
