Update of /home/cvs/samba/source/param
In directory dp.samba.org:/tmp/cvs-serv19057/param

Modified Files:
      Tag: SAMBA_3_0
	loadparm.c 
Log Message:
Machines are people too!

While machine accounts cannot use an NTLM login (NT4 style), they are 
otherwise full and valid members of the domain, and expect to be able to
use kerberos to connect to CIFS servers.

This means that the LocalSystem account, used by various services, can
perform things like backups, without the admin needing to enter further
passwords.

This particular issue (bug 722) has started to come up a lot on the lists.  

I have only enabled it for winbindd-based systems, as the macros use use 
to call the 'add user script' will strip the $ from the username for 
security reasons.
