Must a Samba PDC use encrypted passwords?

	Well, this is fine and dandy if you are migrating from having
people connect to non-PDC samba box towards a PDC, but when you are
starting out in an homogeneous NT enviornment never having had samba
running for other than test purposes, this is rather pointless as a user
won't be able to sit down at an NT box and type in there username and
password to login without having *first* been in the smbpasswd file.

	Chicken before the egg.  I don't see what you are getting at here.
