Well, the code I am adding to the head branch will
store the machine account for netbios name NNNN in
domain DDDD in the file :

/usr/local/samba/private/DDDD.NNNN.mac

- allowing machine passwords for different NetBIOS
names and domains. The format of the file will be
something like :

32 byte ascii representation of passwd.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:TLC-YYYYYYY
                                    ^
                                    last change time
                                    since Jan 1st 1970.

Maybe you'll want to use the same format.

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
