I'm not sure, but you may need to make use of the 'update encrypted' option
in your smb.conf.  Look at man smb.conf and see what it says about that.  I
know the parameter is made to be used when migrating from plain text
passwords to encrypted passwords.  I guess you could always reset the
machine account and rejoin the workgroup/domain.  I believe this would
update the password in smbpasswd to be encrypted but I'm just guessing
here - .
