smbpasswd file compatible between versions?

[Joe Olt]

I have tried copying the smbpasswd file from a 2.2alpha1 to a 2.0.7, and it
worked fine.

Is the private/smbpasswd format compatible between versions?  I was running
an
old 2.1 prealpha version of SAMBA, and now am trying 2.2 from cvs.  Can I
just
use the old smbpasswd file?  I've actually re-added all the machine trust
accounts to it (foo$), but I don't want to readd users as I want to keep
the users' old passwords.
