NT Domain AND cleartext passwords on same server

[Greg Dickie]

How would you do this? If you use %m (machine) then that macro would be
the same whether the machine OR the user on the machine is logging i,n no?

As far as the dual personalities, would not both personalities need to be
PDCs? And wouldn't WINS prevent that? Or am I misunderstanding aliases?

IMHO this would really be a nice feature and would almost get rid of
smbpasswd ;-)

Thanks,
Greg
